  Calypso's easy-to-use screens allows you to create your entire dive calendar by pointing and clicking. Calypso uses an intuitive calendar-like interface as a center from which you can create a dive entry, register a diver and check the status of bookings. Your customers can then view your scheduled dives on a public version of the calendar available on your website and can make reservations using a shopping cart and checkout procedure. A potential customer can even reserve a space and pay online using a major credit card.
  Dive Calendar: Allows you to visualize your dives in the upcomings days, weeks or months. Each dive can be edited by clicking on the blue link. The yellow book icon pops up the Worksheet, which allows you to see the diver roster for that dive. The number that looks like a fraction indicates the number of spaces booked vs. the spaces available. This screen allows you to see at a glance your used and forecasted capacity giving you a great tool that helps you decide whether you need a marketing campaign to fill future available spaces.
  Dive List: Allows you to also see upcoming dives as in the Dive Calendar, but in a list format. This list provides details like site name, date, time, skill level, and booked vs. available spaces. From this list you can also launch the Worksheet, the roster for a specific dive.
  Party List: Allows you to see all parties that have been registered. A party is defined as one or more persons. This is the first step to create your own SCUBA-oriented customer database.
  Payment List: Allows you to see all parties that have made online payments. The payment detail indicates the name of the party, the number of member in the party, amount paid and specific dives that were paid for. This generates invoices for you automatically.
  Worksheet: Allows you to also see all parties registered for a particular dive. The roster details party, its members and their equipment needs including tank and weights, BCD, regulator, wetsuit, mask fins and snorkel. It also stores measurements for each person in a party. A very useful tool for Divemasters in the field that can be accessible anywhere.
  Dive Calendar (Public Version): Allows a visitor of your website to see your scheduled dives. This is the public version of your Dive Calendar. It displays each dive with its time, a link to a description of the dive site and a one-click capability to book a dive by adding it to the shopping cart. This is what a visitor to your web site would see, succinct and precise scheduling information that can save you hours from phone inquiries.
  Dive List (Public Version): Similar to the Dive Calendar, but in a list format. Each dive is displayed with its dive location, date, time, and skill level. To do a reservation, a visitor would add a dive to the shopping cart from this list with one click. The shooping cart then leads the visitor to a checkout procedure that allows the visitor to pay online with a credit card, freeing you up from onerous credit card transactions over the phone.

Any reservation or transaction that a visitor makes would then be reflected on your Party and Payment screens. This allows you to monitor your business anywhere anytime with an Internet connection.
