Does Marlo decide whether a dive goes ahead?+
No. Method, depth, gas, team size, weather and go or no-go are the supervisor's calls. Marlo pre-fills the plan from your template and names who has to sign it.
Can Marlo lodge a port or marine-park approval?+
No. Marlo drafts the request from your own template and approval list. A named human reviews it and lodges it. Nothing reaches an authority, port or vessel owner from Marlo.
Does Marlo tell us what the regulations require?+
No. Marlo never states what a rule is. It fills in the approvals and documents your operation has already decided a job needs, and flags when one of them is missing from the pack.
What does Marlo do after the dive?+
Marlo assembles the post-job report from your photos, dive logs and disposal receipts, drafts the biofouling record entry and the invoice, and sets the reminder for the next clean. You review and release each one.
Who signs the dive plan, SWMS and record entries?+
Your supervisor and director. Marlo pre-fills, flags gaps and records who signed. It holds no authority to sign, certify or declare anything.
How is Marlo different from your permits and approvals worker?+
Rowan handles the standing application register for councils, certifiers and utilities. Marlo prepares the per-job marine pack: the approval requests one dive needs, the dive plan, the currency check and the post-job records.
Does Marlo manage our vessel and plant renewals?+
Marlo checks that the vessel, divers and equipment named on a job are current and flags an expiry. Wren handles the standing fleet and plant renewal calendar across your whole operation.
What if we are the buyer and need a diver with a capture unit?+
Marlo drafts the request for quote to the subcontractors you name and logs the replies. Choosing the contractor, agreeing the price and accepting their method stay with you.
Do we need dive-management software?+
No. Marlo works from your existing templates, a shared folder, your inbox and a client-owned register. Access and any register write are agreed during onboarding.
When does something escalate to a person?+
Any expired ticket, medical or certificate on a job, any missing approval before a dive date, any document that appears to involve a safety or environmental incident, and any question about what a rule requires go straight to your named person.
