Diving booking system

• keyboard_arrow_downHow is Anolla different from standard diving booking software?
  Standard dive centre booking calendars only track dates and times. Anolla is a comprehensive all-in-one revenue-optimising booking and workflow platform for dive centres, PADI/SSI instructors, dive clubs and liveaboard operators. The platform combines booking for dive courses and trips, diver customer management (CRM), equipment and boat-space management and automated communication. Unlike static calendars, Anolla uses AI to help fill open dive spots and reduce manual work. Anolla supports dynamic pricing based on season, visibility, location and occupancy. The system manages hourly pool sessions, full-day boat trips, multi-day liveaboard cruises and combined dive packages in parallel from a single central calendar.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla support hourly training sessions and multi-day diving trips at the same time?
  Yes, this is one of Anolla’s main advantages for dive centers and liveaboard operators. Unlike many booking systems, Anolla does not force you to choose only one scheduling model. The platform supports hourly pool trainings and try-dives, day-based boat trips, and multi-day dive safaris and course modules at the same time. You can also manage dive services with variable duration, such as extended deep dives or combination packages (diving + accommodation + transport). All dive calendars, boat schedules, instructor slots and equipment bookings are consolidated into a single central overview calendar. Anolla is an ideal fit for hybrid models that offer courses, guided dives, equipment rental and liveaboard trips in parallel.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does the Anolla AI assistant reduce a diving center’s administrative workload and human errors?
  Anolla’s automated customer support AI assistant works 24/7, answering questions from both local and international divers around the clock. The assistant automatically resolves up to 79.3%¹ of all standard questions, such as diving conditions, visibility, certification requirements, medical questionnaires, equipment rental, course levels and the booking process. In addition, the assistant resolves up to 52.4%¹ of first-level technical support questions, such as accessing bookings, changing dates or payment links – without team involvement. Automated customer communication and reminders about dive plans, health declarations and equipment fittings reduce admin time by up to 39.3%¹. Result: lower workload for instructors and administrators, fewer double bookings, fewer mistakes in certification levels and minimal human error in dive schedules.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s dynamic pricing module help dive centers optimize their prices?
  The Anolla dynamic pricing system automates the pricing strategy of a dive center and liveaboard operator. The diving business can create precise rules to adjust prices based on season, visibility, boat capacity, day of week, time of day, dive site or client group (e.g. regulars, club members, agencies). All price changes – from single dives and courses to package trips and equipment rental – are implemented automatically according to the defined business rules. The system helps sell low-demand trips and early-morning dives at reduced rates, filling boat spaces that would otherwise remain empty. In peak season and at popular dive sites, dynamic pricing allows you to maximize revenue and increase the average booking value. The strategy aims to simultaneously raise boat occupancy, improve utilization of resources (instructors, compressor, equipment) and increase the overall profitability of the dive business.
• keyboard_arrow_downIs Anolla suitable both for an individual instructor and for a multi-location diving chain?
  Yes, Anolla is designed to scale for dive businesses of any size. A single instructor or small dive club can start with a powerful free plan to manage dive courses, try-dives, guided dives and equipment rentals from one place. Operators with multiple dive centers, boat fleets or liveaboard vessels benefit from centralized management where all locations, boats, instructors and gear warehouses are under one platform. Anolla allows you to add unlimited dive center locations, boats and users – from instructors and divemasters to administrators and partner agencies. The system offers flexible role- and location-based access control (RBAC), so each instructor only sees their assigned courses and dives, while management gets a complete overview of the entire dive business performance.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhich tools and platforms does Anolla integrate with for diving businesses?
  Anolla is built with an API-first architecture and supports the key integrations that dive centers and dive schools need every day. For online payments there is a direct integration with Stripe payment solutions, allowing you to take deposits for dive courses, boat trips and liveaboard trips securely in multiple currencies. The platform supports analytics integrations such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel to measure the booking journey from campaign to confirmed dive. The solution allows exporting raw data to BI/ML tools to analyze occupancy, seasonality patterns and customer segments. In addition, Anolla includes a powerful API that lets you connect the system with websites, CRMs, marketing automation, accounting and, where necessary, dive insurance or accommodation partner systems.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat does the free plan offer and what do the paid features add for a diving business?
  The free plan includes all the essential tools a dive centre or independent instructor needs to quickly start managing online bookings, courses, and dive schedules. This tier is ideal for smaller dive clubs and new instructors that want to accept bookings online, manage diver data, and receive basic automated reminders. Paid features add unlimited automation (e.g., reminder sequences for certification renewals, season-start campaigns, post-dive follow-ups), advanced integrations with payment solutions and marketing and analytics platforms, and loyalty modules such as membership programs, package discounts, and automatic repeat-booking suggestions.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s usage-based pricing help a diving business mitigate risks?
  Anolla’s usage-based pricing model is purpose-built to reduce business risk for dive centers and liveaboard operators. A diving business does not have to pay high fixed monthly fees in the low season or during poor weather conditions when bookings are fewer. Costs always scale in proportion to actual bookings and platform usage, helping to keep cash flow more stable. This model is especially suitable for seasonal destinations where diving activity depends on the time of year, visibility, sea conditions and international tourism. For diving services with fluctuating demand – such as marine life trips, wreck dives or liveaboard cruises – usage-based pricing helps keep fixed costs under control and increase profitability during peak periods.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow quickly can a diving center start working with Anolla?
  Getting started with Anolla usually takes just minutes, and the entire setup is guided by a 24/7 context-aware AI assistant tailored to the specifics of the dive business. The assistant helps you step by step set up dive schedules, courses, packages, boat timetables, equipment categories, and pricing rules. The platform’s ease of use is rated 5/5 on Capterra¹, and nine out of ten team members master the core functionality in under 30 minutes¹. This means instructors and administrators can quickly focus on organizing dives instead of learning complicated software.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat makes Anolla’s diving booking software a future-proof solution?
  Anolla is a future-proof solution thanks to its scalable modular architecture, purpose-built from the ground up for dive centers, dive schools and liveaboard operators. The platform evolves continuously through its cloud-based infrastructure and AI-driven learning, analyzing booking patterns, seasonality and occupancy to provide smart recommendations. Unlike static booking software, Anolla is built around a powerful API that allows you to add new sales channels, partners and analytics tools. The extensible modular platform also supports an IoT ecosystem, including hardware integrations such as access control for equipment storage, rental equipment (BCDs, regulators, computers) management, compressor usage sensors and boat equipment monitoring. This architecture allows us to continuously integrate the latest technologies both above and below the water, ensuring that your dive center’s tools always remain at the forefront of the market.
