Listing Creation Guide

Step 1 — Trip Information

This is the first thing divers see, so make it count. You will enter a trip title, listing type, destination, dates, and base price per person.

Title — write a descriptive name that tells divers exactly what they are booking. Include the destination and duration, for example: "Red Sea 7-Night Liveaboard" or "Maldives South Atoll — 10 Days & 9 Nights". Avoid vague names like "Diving Trip" — specificity builds trust and improves search visibility.

Base price per person — this is your starting price in euros. It represents the lowest cabin tier. Individual cabin prices are set separately in Step 5 and can be higher or lower than this figure. Divers see this price prominently on the search results card.

Dates — enter the exact departure and return dates. If you run the same route on multiple departure dates, you will create a separate listing for each.

Step 2 — Description

The description is your opportunity to sell the experience. Write in plain language as if you were talking to a diver who has never heard of your vessel.

Cover the dive sites you visit — name them, describe the conditions, and mention what guests are likely to see (reef sharks, mantas, wrecks, etc.). Explain how a typical day unfolds: wake-up time, number of dives, surface intervals, meals, and evening activities. Describe life on board — the feel of the vessel, the crew, the food, and the social atmosphere.

A thorough description significantly reduces pre-booking questions and attracts guests who are already a good fit for your trip.

Step 3 — Boat Details

Enter the technical specifications of your vessel: the boat name, year it was built, total number of cabins, length, and width (both in metres). These details help divers understand the size and character of the boat before they book.

If your vessel has been refitted or significantly upgraded since its original build year, you can mention this in the description.

Step 4 — Photos

Photos are the single most influential factor in a diver's booking decision. Upload up to six images — a mix of exterior shots, common areas, dive deck, and underwater scenes works well.

The photo you set as the thumbnail is shown on the search results card and at the top of your listing page. Choose a wide, well-lit shot that represents the vessel at its best — ideally taken on a clear day with good visibility. Avoid photos with heavy text overlays or logos.

You can drag the images to reorder them. The thumbnail does not have to be the first photo in the gallery.

Step 5 — Cabins

This step is the most detailed. You add each cabin on your vessel individually, so prepare the following information for every room before you start:

Name — give each cabin a clear name that helps guests distinguish it, for example "Master Suite", "Upper Deck Twin", or "Standard Double".

Deck location — the deck or floor the cabin is on (e.g. Main Deck, Upper Deck).

Occupancy — the maximum number of guests the cabin accommodates.

Bed type — double, twin, bunk, or single.

Size — the cabin area in square metres.

Price per person — the per-person rate for this specific cabin. This can differ from the listing base price.

Amenities — indicate whether the cabin can be shared with other guests, whether it has a private en-suite bathroom, and whether it has air conditioning.

You can also upload up to six photos per cabin to show guests exactly what the room looks like.

Step 6 — Services

Here you select all the diving, accommodation, and trip options included in your trip. The platform shows you a categorised list — simply tick everything that applies. Examples include: number of dives per day, dive guide included, equipment rental, full board meals, airport transfers, and nitrox availability.

You do not need to prepare anything in advance for this step — just review the list carefully and select accurately, as these options appear on the listing and influence booking decisions.

Step 7 — Extra Costs

Some services you selected in Step 6 may carry an additional charge on top of the base cabin price — for example, equipment rental, dive courses, or airport transfers. For each of those services, enter the cost per person.

Leave the field blank for any service that is fully included in the base price. These costs are displayed transparently to guests on the listing page before they book, so accuracy here builds trust and avoids disputes.

Step 8 — Payment Plan

The payment plan defines how and when guests pay for their booking. You configure a deposit — the amount collected immediately at the time of booking — and then any number of instalment payments due before the trip departure.

Deposit — enter the percentage of the total price collected at booking. A common range is 20–30%, but you can set it to any value including 100% if you require full payment upfront.

Instalments — add as many payment stages as you need. For each one, enter the percentage of the remaining balance and a due date. All due dates must fall before the trip start date.

The platform automatically calculates the final instalment so that all payments together always add up to 100% of the booking total. You can adjust percentages and dates at any time before the listing goes live.
