Where ocean lovers plan their next adventure.
bookwithbuddy.com and the Buddy app are the newest place for a young, ocean-loving community to find where they want to go and what they want to do, then book it.
Discoverable by where they want to go.
Divers search for the places they want to explore, from cities and islands to regions, countries, and dive sites. Your activities show up wherever you run them, on bookwithbuddy.com and in the app.
Discoverable by what they’re passionate about.
Divers choose their water activity, from scuba, freediving, and mermaiding to sailing, surfing, jet skis, and liveaboards, and see what’s bookable for it. It works the same on bookwithbuddy.com and in the app.

FAQ
Marketplace questions, answered.
What listing on bookwithbuddy.com and the Buddy app means for your business.
Why should I list on the Buddy marketplace?
It’s free, and it puts your activities where a young, ocean-loving community is starting to plan its next trip. Buddy reaches 50,000+ divers and ocean lovers across the app, our socials, and newsletters, and you only pay when someone books through the marketplace.
Is the marketplace new?
Yes. bookwithbuddy.com and the app’s booking page are growing as more businesses list and as we invest in marketing. Listing now means your activities are already in place as that traffic grows.
Will I get bookings right away?
We can’t promise a number of bookings. What we can promise is that your activities are discoverable by location, dive site, activity, and skill level on bookwithbuddy.com and in the app, and that we feature listed destinations and dive sites.
What does it cost to list?
Listing is free. Bookings through bookwithbuddy.com or the app carry a 12% commission, dropping to 10% and then 8% as your annual revenue through Buddy grows. Bookings through your own website and links are 0%.
Who is the marketplace for?
Dive shops, instructors, trip leaders, and water tour operators. You can list only on the marketplace, or use it alongside your own website.
How do divers find my activities?
They search by city, island, region, country, or dive site, then filter by water activity, skill level, and type of diving. It works the same on bookwithbuddy.com and in the app.
What promotion is included?
Destinations with listed activities are featured on bookwithbuddy.com, and we share content about your area and dive sites in the app and on our socials. Discover articles, newsletter features, and activity posts about your business come with adding Buddy booking to your own website.
