About

DiveOps

Read full description

DiveOps is the record book for a public safety dive team. It holds the things a team has to be able to produce later: who is on the roster and what they are certified for, who trained and who was there, who dived, and what their vital signs were before and after they went in the water. THE ROSTER Members, contact details, emergency contacts, and dive certifications with photographs of the cards. Diver and tender skill levels, officer status, and the dates that matter. TRAINING AND CALLOUTS Put the schedule in one place. Members say whether they are coming, and the people planning a dive can see who they actually have. Reminders go out before an event and when someone has not answered. DIVE LOGS Log a dive against the event it belongs to — times, depths, conditions, roles, and the divers who were in the water. Produce a dive sheet afterwards. MEDICAL CHECKS Record the readings your team takes before and after a dive — blood pressure, pulse, respiration, blood sugar, temperature and blood oxygen. DiveOps compares each one against that diver's own baseline and flags a difference so a supervisor can look at it. DiveOps does not measure anything and does not diagnose anything. Every reading is taken with your own equipment by a person on your team and typed in. Whether someone dives is a decision made by the people on that dive. WHEN THERE IS NO SIGNAL Dive sites are not known for coverage. Logging works offline and syncs when the phone finds a connection again. LICENSED PER TEAM Any public safety dive team can subscribe to DiveOps — each team is its own customer, with its own roster and its own records, kept separate from every other team's. Because the app holds members' home addresses, emergency contacts and medical readings, a team's own administrator creates and invites its members rather than leaving those records open to public sign-up. There is nothing to buy inside the app.
