Advisory

Consulting for people opening a shop, and people trying to save one.

Every engagement is run by someone who has owned or operated a dive business, not a generalist consultancy.

Pre-revenue to first season
Opening a dive business
Most new dive shops fail on capacity math and cash timing, not on diving. We build the plan before you sign a lease or buy a boat.
- Market and competitor study for your location
- Capacity and break-even model
- Boat, compressor, and rental fleet specification
- Agency affiliation decision
- Permits, insurance, and staffing plan
- 90-day opening runbook
$4,5006-week engagement

Operating, but margin is thin
Fixing an existing operation
A structured review of where the money actually goes. Most shops find 8 to 15 points of margin in pricing and rental turnover alone.
- Full P&L and pricing teardown
- Trip capacity and utilization analysis
- Rental fleet ROI and replacement plan
- Course funnel and instructor productivity
- Retail mix and dead stock clearance
- Quarterly follow-up review
$3,2004-week engagement

Multi-location or buying
Growth and acquisition
For operators adding a second location, buying a competitor, or preparing to sell. Valuation, diligence, and integration.
- Target identification and valuation
- Financial and operational diligence
- Deal structure and transition planning
- Systems and staff integration
- Exit readiness review
Customscoped per engagement

Getting started

How working with us actually goes.

1

2
We look at your numbers
Capacity, pricing, and where bookings come from today. We will tell you if we are not a fit.
3
Pick what you need
Software, advisory, reach, or all three. Nothing is bundled to force an upsell.
4
Onboard in days, not quarters
We migrate your catalog, staff, and bookings. Most shops are live in under two weeks.

Questions

The things operators ask first.

Do I have to use Manta One to list on WSN?

No. Listings, advertising, and widgets all work independently. Manta One just removes the double entry — your availability and pricing stay in sync automatically.

What does WSN take on a booking?

Standard marketplace commission is 12%, and it is the same for every operator regardless of what else you buy. Bookings taken through your own widget on your own site are commission free on Premium.

Can I migrate from my current booking system?

Yes. We import from DiveShop360, Lightspeed, Square, Shopify, WooCommerce, and spreadsheets. Migration is included in onboarding.

Is the consultation useful if I have run a shop for 20 years?

Often more so. Long-running operations tend to have pricing set years ago and rental fleets that quietly stopped paying for themselves. That is exactly what the review targets.

How is advertising priced?

Destination sponsorships and priority placement are flat monthly rates by market size. Newsletter and brand campaigns can run on CPM. You get impression, click, and booking attribution either way.

I am an independent instructor, not a shop. Is this for me?

Not this page. Independent pros have their own product line at WSN for Instructors: a bookable profile, the Instructor Network, live streams, and widgets, free to get listed and $149/year for Pro. Come back here when you add staff, boats, rental gear, or retail.

Do you work with liveaboards and resorts?

Yes. Manta One handles cabin inventory and multi-night packages, and travel operators get their own listing template with departure and cabin management.
