Dive shop booking software that makes every day easier.

Buddy Booking is an online booking platform built specifically for dive shops, dive centers, and water activity operators. Unlike generic reservation systems, Buddy supports the unique needs of scuba diving businesses — from daily boat dives and certification courses to multi-week training, group trips, and accommodations.

Manage availability, digital waivers, dive manifests, deposits, customer details, automated reminders, and financial reporting in one place. Plus, connect your activities to a growing community of divers and travelers through the Buddy app and BookWithBuddy.com.

With Buddy Booking, customers can browse your activities, check availability, choose dates, and book directly from your existing website, social media links, or the Buddy Marketplace.

You can also create reservations manually for phone calls, walk-ins, and over-the-counter bookings. Everything stays organized in one booking calendar, so your team can manage reservations in one place.
