Creating dive trips
Add new dive trips via:
- Products / Trips / Add
Via a pop up you will be able to enter the details of your dive trips. Enter as many of the following items as possible:
Dive trip title*
Example: "2 fun dives at Manta Point & Outer Reef"
Description
Describe what the customer can expect from the trip.
Example: what can they expect to see? What is the topography like? How long is the boat trip?
Itinerary
Enter a short itinerary of how the day usually looks like.
Example: pickup/drop off time; duration of the drive or boat ride to the dive sites; how long is the dive; etc.
Duration
Enter the duration in a number of days - if it's a few hours/half-day trip, enter "1."
Dives included
Enter the number of included open water dives
Minimum experience
Select the minimum experience divers should have in order to join this dive trip.
Minimum dives
If any, enter the minimum logged dives required to join this dive trip.
Minimum age

What's included
Tick all items that are included in the price of the dive trip
Price
Enter the price. The currency will be used from "Settings". Each organization can only have 1 currency.
Season start/end
Enter a specific time frame during which the dive trip is available.
If it can always be organized, select "all year". Having a trip available "all year" doesn't mean you must run them; it simply means you are able to run them.
When you receive a booking request for such a trip but you are not able (or do not prefer) to run that trip, you can always decline the booking request.
If your dive center closes for a season, you must make sure that you only select months that you are open and able to offer the dive trip.
Trip starts on
Enter specific days on which you run the dive trip.
If it can always be organized, select "all week". Having a trip available "all week" doesn't mean you must run them every day; it simply means you are able to run them every day.
When you receive a booking request for such a trip but you are not able (or do not prefer) to run that trip, you can always decline the booking request.
This section is useful if you run a dive trip on a set schedule (for example, Saturdays and Sundays).
For sale at location*
Select the dive center location(s) at which this dive trip can be sold.
A dive trip must be linked to at least 1 location in order for it to go on Scubago.

Add images related to this dive trip. We recommend that you select a photo relevant to the dive trip.
When finished, click "Publish"
Creating dive courses
Add new dive courses via:
- Products / Courses / Add
The required fields will be the same as for dive trips, with the exception of these fields unique for dive courses:
Select course agency
Select the training agency from the course you want to set up. If the agency is not on the list, choose "other"
Select course
Once you select a training agency from the "course agency" dropdown, a list of possible courses will populate. Select the course from this dropdown. If the course is not in the list, select "other" under "select course agency".
Description
Describe what the student can expect to learn from the course and the lessons involved in the course.
Itinerary
What is the course schedule? Describe Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, as needed.
Enter amount of open water dives included
Although the system fills in the minimum number of dives dependent on the course you chose, you can still modify this number.
Enter the duration of the dive course
How many days will this course involve?
Enter amount of open water dives included
How many open water dives will be required to complete the course
Enter amount of confined water dives included

The rest of the fields are the same as adding a dive trip (as explained above).
When finished, click "Publish"
Copying a Product
Clicking on the "copy" icon allows you to copy the contents and details of the product listing, except for the Image. This feature is useful if you offer a dive package (for example: 2-day, 3-day, 4-day) with the same descriptions, itineraries, and requirements. You can simply "copy" your first listing, then change the TITLE and PRICE.
Please note that you would need to upload a new image for the copied product.
