The center handbook.

One screen. The path, the money, and the meaning of each level. Print it, pin it, hand it to your team.

The lifecycle

  1. 01

    Scan

    Take the Quick Scan — a mirror, never a test. It shows where your center already stands.

  2. 02

    Apply

    Send the application. We read it as people, not as a form.

  3. 03

    Seed · self-assessed

    Sign the agreement, complete the self-assessment, pay — Seed issues at once. Your center appears on the Atlas.

  4. 04

    Grow to Branch

    The practice becomes alive across the team — certifications, FP20 sessions, MD-3 or PRO colleagues, a first year behind you.

  5. 05

    Reef

    An ecosystem others shelter in: many divers certified, research contributed, community hosted, another center mentored.
