How The Journey Began

Our story began in 2007 whilst running a dive shop in Spain. As business owners, we had a need for a simple point-of-sale solution with the ability to manage events specific to scuba diving.

There were a number of tools on the market to manage dive shop operations, but they simply didn't cut it; The products available were either difficult to use, had too many over-engineered features or you needed a specific computer to get up and running. So we made the decision to embark on building a solution that met our needs.

Whilst our original focus was on managing everyday business operations with efficiency and speed, as the dive shop grew, we came to the realisation that our software could help scuba dive operators in similar situations; That's when things got interesting.

We then focused on building Dive Centre HQ into a viable product to be used throughout the dive industry. Turns out we were on to something. Today, a wide range of dive shops and freelance instructors rely on Dive Centre HQ to manage their scuba business. While we continue to add more features and refine the experience, our goals have remained the same since day one - to build the best dive shop management software on the planet and to provide amazing support to our customers.

So, what happens from here

We'll continue working with dive operators around the globe to improve Dive Centre HQ. Whether it's through interface tweaks or API integrations, we're working hard at delivering exceptional service.

The future holds exciting possibilities and we're looking forward to helping the dive industry move into the era of effective business technology.
