Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has very promising underwater tourism potential. This situation encourages the diving industry in Indonesia to continue to develop along with technological advances. One of the important assets in this development is spatial data management. The problem in the Indonesian diving industry that is still often found today is that spatial data has not been appropriately managed so that visitors find it difficult to find information related to diving sites and the surrounding facilities. This study aims to design a platform of WebGIS to manage and present various information related to the diving industry with the Kepulauan Seribu as the study area. Various spatial data such as diving sites and locations of public facilities will be integrated to provide various information for the visitors. In addition, bathymetry maps extracted from GEBCO data and base maps from Open Street Map (OSM) are also displayed. These spatial data are processed with the help of the QGIS2WEB feature in the QGIS software, and the result can be processed further so that the map can be embedded in a WebGIS. WebGIS interface design is also carried out so that the general description of the WebGIS appearance can be understood. The results of this study are expected to be beneficial for various parties involved in the Kepulauan Seribu diving industry, such as the government of Kepulauan Seribu, diving business operators, and visitors.
