The window opens.
Slack tide is the short, calm window when charter boats put divers in the water. Slacktide Ops runs that window: the dive board, the headcounts, the vessel checks and the records — on one tablet that keeps working with no signal, no paper, no fuss.
Every diver, accounted for.
Tap divers in as they roll off the boat, tap them out as they climb the ladder. The board counts down each group's planned time and sounds an alarm the moment anyone is overdue — an alarm that keeps going with the screen off, the app swiped away, the tablet asleep. Media volume can't mute it. The sea can't drown it.
The logbook writes itself.
Skipper checks before departure, site risk assessments, dive plans and briefings, incident reports, fuel and engine hours — each one a short form on deck, signed with a crew PIN, kept in an append-only log nobody can quietly edit. When the auditor or the insurer asks, the day is already written down.
Brief like you've dived it a hundred times.
The owner plans the week's trips and keeps a library of dive sites — the brief, the hazards, the entry, the depth. The tablet offers today's plan at sign-in and puts the site brief in the crew's hands before the briefing, with the depth preset so the plan never exceeds the site.
The whole fleet, from the shore.
While the boats work, the dashboard watches: who is in the water right now, which alarms sounded, which boat has a defect marked unsafe, whose first aid expires in 41 days, what the fuel bill was. Live when there's signal, honest about what it couldn't load when there isn't.
Built on deck,
not in a boardroom.
Slacktide Ops is being built in Western Australia with a working dive charter — every screen argued over by people who hose salt off their gear. We're taking a small number of founding operators.
