Dive Module - Overview

Summary

The Dive Module is a sophisticated tool that was created to handle the most complex aspects of your Company's dive management .  Because this module is comprehensive and the activities/approvals surrounding professional dive operations can be complex, there are a variety of configuration requirements that must be completed prior to utilizing this component. These configurations can be somewhat involved when initially entering them into the system; however, once they are completed there should be very few occasions that they will need to be modified again.

NOTE:  Your Company MUST create a "Dive Facility" prior to utilizing the Dive Module.  This is a virtual facility that houses the Dive Module and all related tools.  Contact OERCA at [e-mail] to request the creation of this facility in your Company configuration.
