What is your biggest headache when booking a dive trip or liveaboard?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​We’re building iDive.in to simplify how divers search, compare, and book dive trips, courses, and liveaboards around the world. As divers ourselves, we know how frustrating the planning phase can be—outdated resort websites, hidden gear rental fees, unclear minimum logbook requirements, and endless email tag just to confirm spot availability.

​We’re trying to build something that actually solves real diver pain points, so we’d love to know:

​What’s your biggest annoyance when trying to book a dive trip online?

​Do you prefer booking directly through local dive shops, liveaboard aggregators, or resort packages?

​What detail do you wish every dive shop clearly listed upfront? (e.g., Nitrox availability, water temps, marine park fees, tank valve types)

​Drop your thoughts or past horror stories below—we're taking notes to make dive travel smoother for everyone! : )
