About Dive Kit

Last updated: April 2026

Dive Kit started as frustration.

All the scuba diving apps I used felt outdated, or designed by people who don't dive. MultiDeco frustrated me every time I opened it. The newer mobile apps were mostly toys, pretty screens with no real engine underneath. And the software divers actually rely on day to day, things like club management, trip planning, gear rentals, booking, was even worse.

I'm a computer engineer. I dive. I figured I could do something about it.

Where the idea started

Actually, thinking about it now, the idea came when I joined the Melbourne University Underwater Club. They had an app for memberships, trip planning, and gear rentals. It was slow, buggy, looked ancient, and was obviously not designed for divers. Nobody liked it. Everyone used it anyway because there was no alternative.

That was the moment it clicked. I started designing Dive Kit in my head. Not just a deco planner. Every piece of software a diver actually uses, done properly, under one roof.

The long term vision

Dive Kit isn't just a calculator app. The planning tools are the starting point because that's what divers need first. The long term roadmap is much bigger. I want to build every piece of software a diver uses on their phone or laptop, and bring it all into one place.

Some of what's on the way:

  • A dedicated cave and overhead planner, where you can sketch rough cave maps and the app simulates deco, gas consumption, and emergency scenarios against them. This idea came from doing my Intro to Cave course with Audrey Cudel.
  • A universal dive site database. Google Maps for diving. Every site, with conditions, depths, marine life, and access info, contributed by divers.
  • A way to find a dive buddy in your region. If you're new somewhere, or your regular buddy is out of town, find someone to go diving with.
  • A marketplace to find and book dive operators.
  • A one stop connection to regional dive gear sellers.
  • Group trip planning.
  • Dive club membership and management.

The dream: when a new diver gets their Open Water, part of the onboarding becomes "congrats, you're a diver now. Go download Dive Kit, you're gonna need it."

A community thing

Dive Kit isn't a charity and I'm not going to pretend it is. The Deco Planner is paid because that's what lets me keep building everything else. But I try to keep that line honest. The other ten tools are free, no ads, no accounts, no feature gates. I don't want to nickel and dime divers. I price the thing that represents real engineering effort, and I keep the rest out of the way.

What matters more to me is that Dive Kit is shaped by divers. By friends, instructors, colleagues, helpful strangers on Reddit, and divers from all over the world who've spared the time to tell me what's wrong, what's missing, what would help. They do it because everyone wants better tools for divers. We help each other.

If you have feedback, spot a bug, want a feature, or just want to tell me the app is wrong about something, please reach out.

Lazuli Global

Dive Kit is built under Lazuli Global. That's a company me and a few friends put together to turn the diving ideas we'd been talking about into actual projects. Before Lazuli Global, those ideas just sat in group chats. Having a vehicle for them gave us a reason to see them through.

Beyond Dive Kit, we're working on a new liveaboard launching in Egypt, trying to bring a higher standard of service, design, and quality to the liveaboard experience. And a modern booking and operations platform for liveaboards and dive centers, handling guest bookings, forms, trip prep, and payments, to modernize a part of the dive industry that's been left behind.

We're a small group, building in our spare time because we love diving and we love building.

About me

I'm Ronny Majani. Computer engineer. Tech diver. I've lived in a bunch of countries, fell in love with diving while living in Australia, and relocated to Egypt to live by the Red Sea. Egypt is also the hub for most of our diving projects.
