Diver: Hi! There are two of us, never dived before. How much is the Open Water? I'm also a bit scared of deep water 😅

Replied in 8 seconds

Assistant: Hi! I'm Mia, the dive centre's virtual assistant 🙂 If I can't help with something, just ask for a colleague.

Totally normal, lots of people feel that way before their first dive 🙂 You start in the pool at your own pace, with your instructor right next to you, and extra time costs nothing. Not sure yet? The Basic Diver is a good way to start: just one day, and afterwards you decide whether you want to continue.

Open Water: 3 days, 12,500 THB
Includes all dive gear, learning materials, certification and 4 nights of A/C accommodation.

You pay a small deposit online to secure your spot, the rest at the shop.

Pick your start date here 👇Book now
Diver: What should we bring? And can we start on the 15th?
Assistant: Just bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen 🙂 All dive gear and a dive computer are included.

Courses can start almost any day, and you pick your start date yourself on the booking page. Want to start tomorrow? Book a course or the Basic Diver before 16:00 (Thai time) today, because there's an orientation at 17:00 the day before your start.

You’re on the boat.
Who’s answering?

Meanwhile, a diver is asking about a course, and messaging three other centres.

A quick question.
A reply hours later.

By the time you reply between boat trips, the diver has booked elsewhere.

“Let me think about it.”
Then nothing.

Nobody follows up, and the booking quietly disappears.

Plenty of messages.
Little visibility.

Which inquiries became bookings? Nobody really knows.

We sent 67 enquiries to dive centres on Koh Tao in October 2026, the way a real diver writes. What came back:

7.2 hoursmedian wait for a real answer to a message sent at night
0 of 38night messages answered within the hour
0replies that came with a way to book or pay

Everything your team gains

Never miss an inquiry

A fast, helpful reply to every message, day and night.

More inquiries become bookings

Talay recommends the right course, follows up and lets divers book straight away.

Save your team’s time

No more typing the same answers about prices, courses and dive times.

Speak your diver’s language

Ten languages today, more on request. Always with your own prices and policies.

Stay in control

Let Talay answer day and night, or only when you’re closed. Your team can take over any conversation, and medical questions always go to you.

Everything in one place

Conversations, bookings and results in one dashboard, on your computer or phone.

How Talay works

Most of it runs on its own. Your team steps in where it matters.

  1. Divers reach out

    With a question about a course, a price or a date.

  2. Talay answers within seconds

    In their language: it recommends, answers questions and follows up.

  3. The diver books online

    With a deposit. Or walks in, or your team takes over.

  4. Everything lands in one place

    Chats, bookings, results and settings, in your customer zone.

Questions dive centres ask

Is Talay a booking system?

No. Talay handles the inquiry until the diver books. Your booking system and CRM stay the same.

Do divers have to book through Talay?

No. They can still walk in, call or book with you directly. Only bookings made through Talay carry a commission.

What does it cost?

Nothing to use. Talay earns a commission only on bookings made through Talay, at rates agreed with you up front.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Chat with our demo dive centre on WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger, as if you were a diver, and see how it answers.

Can Talay answer only when we’re closed?

Yes. Choose day and night, or only outside your office hours. During office hours every message waits for your team, and you can switch any time in your customer zone.

How long does it take to get started?

About 20 minutes to tell us your courses, prices and rules. We set up your assistant and send you a test number, so you can try it yourself before anything goes live.

Which channels does Talay work with?

WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger today, each under your centre’s own name. LINE, Telegram, website forms and email are coming.

Does Talay use AI to write its replies?

Only as far as you allow. AI reads and understands what the diver asks, in any language, and picks the right reply from more than 250 fixed scenarios, filled in with your own prices, times and policies. If you turn on Free answers, Talay can also write a short reply to a question no scenario covers, using only facts your centre has approved. Prices, policies, bookings and medical questions always stay fixed, so Talay never makes up a price or a promise. You choose how free Talay may answer.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Thai, Chinese, Russian, Italian and Korean today. Other languages get English for now, and more can be added.

Can our team take over a conversation?

Yes, at any time. Reply from your customer zone or inbox and Talay steps back.

What about medical questions or complaints?

They always go to your team. Talay never gives medical advice.

What if a diver asks something Talay can’t answer?

It tells the diver a colleague will reply and alerts your team. Medical questions, large groups and schedule changes always go to you. Once your team replies, Talay steps back in that chat.

Can we stop any time?

Yes. Pause the assistant or switch it off whenever you want. No contract, no notice period.

Does Talay bring us new leads?

No. It makes sure fewer of the inquiries you already get are lost.
