Diving and snorkelling booking software for operators
Dive trips, discovery dives and snorkel safaris carry certification requirements, equipment logistics and a safety-first booking flow that generic marketplaces handle badly.
Who books diving and snorkelling
Certified divers planning trips weeks ahead, plus a large walk-in snorkel and try-dive audience booking on the day from a beach or hotel.
How the season runs
Driven by water temperature and visibility rather than the tourist calendar. Many destinations have a strong shoulder season that OTA demand ignores.
The marketplace problem for diving and snorkelling
Marketplaces cannot collect certification level, last-dive date or equipment sizing, so operators end up re-contacting every guest manually anyway.
Why Tourpublish fits this category
You own the booking flow, so you can ask the questions that matter before a guest turns up at the boat. Underwater footage plus a link is a complete sales funnel.
What operators use it for
- Dive centres selling multi-dive packages to returning certified divers.
- Resort-based snorkel trips sold via a QR code at the dive shack.
- Try-dive experiences promoted through short underwater clips.
What you get
- One-tap checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- Tracked KLNKs for every tour with per-creator, per-campaign attribution.
- Two-way sync with Bokun, CaptainBook and TicketingHub.
- A 3% fee on the Founding plan.
Frequently asked
Can I collect certification details at booking?
Owning the checkout is the point. You can gather what you need before arrival instead of chasing guests the night before.
Do snorkel and dive products need separate links?
Yes, and it helps. Separate links let you see whether beach walk-ups or planned dive packages actually drive your season.

Crister NæssHead of Visit Voss, Visit Voss, NorwayFor us, Tourpublish is much more than a platform. It is part of the digital infrastructure a modern DMO needs to build around the destination, connecting businesses, content, data and distribution in a way that creates more collaboration and less friction. The destination of the future needs to be easy to discover, understand and book, whether the customer journey starts with Google, social media, an AI assistant or one of our partners. Tourpublish helps us mobilize the entire destination, turn authentic local content into shared value, and create a stronger foundation for data-driven marketing and seamless booking across businesses. That is where we see the role of the DMO evolving: not controlling every customer touchpoint, but building the infrastructure that makes the whole destination more connected, visible and bookable.

Get startedOther categories
- Food tours booking softwareFood tours run year round in most cities, with a dip in deep winter and a spike around long weekends and food festivals. Evening departures fill fastest.
- Walking tours booking softwareWalking tours are the most weather-sensitive high-volume category. Shoulder months swing hard on forecast, so same-week promotion beats long-lead campaigns.
- E-bike tours booking softwareStrongly seasonal outside the Mediterranean, with a April to October core. Fleet size caps supply, so the goal is a higher-margin seat, not more seats.
- Boat tours booking softwareTight summer peak with weather cancellations built in. Rebooking flexibility matters more here than in any land-based category.
- Day tours booking softwareLonger lead times than any other category, often two to six weeks. That makes day tours the best fit for search and long-form content rather than same-week social.
