Overview
Vessels in ScubaDiverLink are the boats, RIBs, liveaboards and other craft that divers book seats on. Each vessel stores its layout so that the seat map can be shown to divers on their boarding pass. You must have at least a Standard Operator subscription to use Fleet.
Step-by-Step: Adding a New Vessel
- Log in and go to Fleet in the left navigation of your account.
- Click + Add Vessel in the top-right corner.
- Fill in the vessel details: name, type (RIB, hard boat, liveaboard, etc.), year built, length, and maximum capacity.
- Upload up to 8 photos of the vessel. Include exterior shots, the deck layout, and the cabin if applicable. Each photo max 5 MB (JPEG or PNG).
- Build the seat / berth layout using the grid editor — select rows and columns, drag seats to reposition, and mark any seats as Disabled (out of service or crew-only).
- Click Save Layout when the plan looks correct.
- Click Save Vessel. The vessel now appears in your Fleet list and is available to assign to any trip listing.
Editing or Removing a Vessel
- Go to Fleet and click the vessel card you want to change.
- Edit any field and click Save. Changes take effect immediately.
- To remove a vessel, click Delete Vessel. Deleting a vessel does not cancel existing trips assigned to it — you must re-assign those trips to another vessel or update them separately.
Assigning a Vessel to a Trip
Once a vessel is in your Fleet, open any trip listing, scroll to the Vessel field, and select from your fleet. The seat map for that trip will pre-fill with the vessel's layout. See the Creating a Trip guide for full trip setup steps.
