Dive Brief organizes information entered by the dive team. It does not calculate whether a dive is safe or replace training, certification, professional judgment, dive computers, agency standards, or a live predive briefing.

Shared Dive Plans

Keep the objective, route, roles, limits, and procedures in one clear plan.

Team Alignment

Assign buddies and roles, collect questions, and confirm the final version.

Emergency Action Plans

Organize site contacts, assigned roles, equipment locations, and evacuation details.

Offline Briefing Mode

Keep the final brief and emergency summary available when service disappears.

A clearer team workflow

From idea to final briefing in four simple steps.

Designed for recreational, boat, shore, wreck, overhead, training, scientific, and custom dive teams.

01

Build the plan

Choose a template and record the information your qualified team has agreed upon.

02

Invite the team

Send one private link. Assign buddies, roles, and surface support without requiring an account.

03

Review together

Collect questions, publish a final version, and see exactly who has reviewed it.

04

Brief and debrief

Use a clean offline briefing view, then record what changed and what to improve next time.

Built for every kind of dive

One tool, every dive type your team plans.

Recreational reef
Shore & boat
Drift
Night
Wreck
Cavern & cave
Technical
Training

Plus training, scientific, public safety, and fully custom dive types with conditional fields for each.

Team collaboration

Everyone reviews the same version, before you get in the water.

Invite buddies, surface support, and emergency contacts with one private link. Track who has opened, reviewed, questioned, and acknowledged the plan — all in one dashboard.

  • Buddy pairs, teams of three, or custom groups
  • Guest review without creating an account
  • Questions and corrections tracked to resolution
  • Old acknowledgments never silently apply to a new version

Emergency Action Plans

Site-specific emergency information, organized and verified.

Record emergency contacts, oxygen and first-aid locations, evacuation routes, and assigned roles. Mark information verified or stale, and open a distraction-free emergency view at the site.

  • Verification status with configurable stale warnings
  • Large-text emergency-only mobile view
  • Private by default — never exposed through public links
  • One-page PDF emergency summary with a QR code

Offline briefing mode

The final brief works even when the signal doesn't.

Organizers can explicitly save the final brief, emergency summary, team roster, and attachments for offline use — with a clear indicator of what version was saved and when.

  • Explicit save, not silent caching
  • Last-synchronized time always visible
  • Clear warning when a newer version exists
  • Built as an installable PWA

Post-dive debrief

Capture what happened, and carry it into the next dive.

Record actual conditions, deviations, and lessons learned. Compare plan versus actual with a neutral, non-judgmental view, then duplicate the plan with recommendations carried forward.

  • Private or team-visible participant feedback
  • Plan-versus-actual comparison, never a safety score
  • "Use this plan again" with selective duplication
  • Stale conditions flagged for re-verification

Safety boundaries

Dive Brief organizes. It never decides.

Dive Brief never calculates decompression schedules, no-decompression limits, gas reserves, or turn pressure. It never determines whether a diver is qualified or a dive is safe, and it never replaces a live predive briefing.

Frequently asked questions

Does Dive Brief calculate no-decompression limits or gas reserves?

No. Dive Brief organizes information your team enters. It never calculates NDLs, decompression schedules, turn pressure, or gas reserves — that stays with your training, agency standards, and dive computer.

Do team members need an account to review a plan?

No. Organizers invite guests with a private, expiring link. Guests can review the plan, ask questions, and acknowledge the final version without creating an account.

Can we use Dive Brief without an internet connection at the site?

Yes. Authorized users can save the final brief, emergency summary, and team roster for offline use, with a clear indicator of when it was last synchronized.

Is an acknowledgment a legal waiver?

No. An acknowledgment confirms a diver reviewed the plan and their role. It is never described as a waiver, release, or legally binding signature.
