From Passion to Solution: The Diversdesk Story

Diversdesk originated as a passion project during the COVID pandemic, fueled by our deep love for diving and a strong awareness of the daily challenges faced by dive centers. As we built close relationships within the industry, we were frequently asked if we could develop a solution to streamline dive center operations. Leveraging the robust foundation of our marketplace backend, we recognized the opportunity to create a comprehensive Dive Center Management system.

Collaborating directly with dive centers in Indonesia—particularly in the most tourism-driven and dynamic diving locations—we tailored our solution to meet the specific needs of the industry. Our first milestone was the development of an efficient planner, scheduling, and booking system. From there, we streamlined the digital onboarding process, enabling dive centers to onboard customers paperlessly.

Today, Diversdesk is active in five countries, with customers worldwide. We’re incredibly grateful to be able to work full-time on our passion, continuously developing new features. Recent innovations include a seamless bookkeeping integration and the ability to accept direct bookings through our customers' websites. And we're just getting started—our development is an ongoing process, and we invite you to subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on what's next.

Vision Statement

At Diversdesk, our vision is to revolutionize dive center management by providing innovative, user-friendly solutions that empower centers to focus on creating memorable experiences for their customers. We believe in a world where technology simplifies operations, reduces environmental impact, and enhances every diver’s journey. Through continuous development and close collaboration with our users, we aim to set the standard for dive center management worldwide, ensuring that diving is always about the adventure, not the paperwork.

"I cherish the day we started using the platform 'Diversdesk'. Since then, our booking system has improved in so many ways. We used to send our guests a Word registration form. Now, we send them a link from 'Diversdesk', and the rest practically goes by itself. Creating the booking link is now done under 2 minutes, and the response from our guests is super positive. We don't use any paperwork anymore because the medical form and liability release are filled in online. Super convenient, time saving, and most important, good for the environment!

Last but not least, payments are much easier now. 'Diversdesk' manages our credit card payments and ensures we receive everything correctly. The service from 'Diversdesk' is exceptional. As someone who struggles with computers, I've asked for help many times, and they've always found a solution. If I can work with this platform, anyone can! Thank you 'Diversdesk' for saving the world 🌎 🫶"
