Common questions

Is Dive Curated free to use?

Yes, completely. Browsing, comparing, and checking prices costs nothing, and right now every booking goes straight to the operator at no cost to us. If that changes for a specific operator through a direct referral agreement, we'll disclose it clearly at the point of booking.

What do totals like "With tank" mean on Dive Curated?

The total adds the required extras the shop names, such as tanks, park levies, equipment rental or transfers, and says which ones it added. A fee the shop names without an amount is shown as "Not included". Some costs may still be missing, so these figures are estimates, not quotes. Ask the shop to confirm before you book.

Which destinations does Dive Curated cover?

19 destinations so far, spanning Indonesia, Thailand, the Maldives, Palau, Egypt, Mexico, and Bonaire, with more added as data is verified.

Why this guide exists

I have been diving for years, and I love it completely. But planning a dive trip has always been its own particular frustration. You find a destination you want to dive. You spend an afternoon in browser tabs. You find an operator with a price on their website, then realise it doesn't include equipment rental, the national park fee, the boat transfer, the nitrox fills, or the resort levy. You try to work out what the conditions will actually be like, whether your certification level is appropriate, and what the best months are, and you get contradictory answers from three different review platforms, none of which disclose that their top-ranked operators paid for the placement.

I built this guide because I kept needing it and it didn't exist. The prices here come from each shop's own website or price list, and totals with fees are labeled as estimates, not promises. Shops that confirmed their prices with us come first, then shops with their own photos, then the lowest price. No shop pays for its place. Right now, every booking goes straight to the operator and we don't take a cut. If that changes through a direct referral agreement with a specific operator, we'll say so clearly at the point of booking. The whole guide runs on being upfront, including about how it makes money.

  • Known fees addedWe add the required fees we can find: park levies, gear, transfers, fills. Unknown costs are marked.
  • Nobody buys a spotFilter by your level and trip. The order is explained on each page, and you pick.
  • Upfront about moneyRight now, every booking goes straight to the operator at no cost to us. We'll disclose it clearly if that ever changes for a specific operator.
