Groups for clubs and courses — schools don’t pay

Groups give clubs and courses a private space. From here you communicate easily and share information with each other.

What a group is

A SharkPoint group is a private room for a club, course or buddy circle: members you invite, posts and events you keep together, on the same globe world as your log. It is not a public club directory and not an official PADI or SSI storefront.

Private group dossier for a dive club
A group dossier: members, discussions and photos you keep private.

What it is not

Groups are not a public community, not a school operations system, and not a replacement for your certification organisation’s app. Use Groups when a club or course wants a private place next to the logbook — not when you need PADI/SSI paperwork or an open club page.
