Listen "114 | How a booking platform is Revolutionizing Scuba Travel | Fixing the Dive Industry’s Biggest Problem"
Episode Synopsis
The scuba diving industry has been stuck in the past when it comes to technology — especially online booking. In this episode, we sit down with Alexis Jabbour, the creator of Buddy Booking. It’s a groundbreaking, new platform built specifically for divers, dive shops, and operators.Developed by the same team behind the popular Buddy dive app, Buddy Booking aims to modernize how divers plan and book their adventures — solving one of the biggest “bottlenecks”, which is a contributing factor in holding back the growth of scuba diving worldwide.This platform is designed specifically for the nuance of the dive industry, cutting down the dreaded steps to making a reservation. A key element is working with a simplified calendar, ability to add things like Tanks (or nitrox fills), rental gear, and other things that traditional booking software seems to lack. It even has options to book a private photographer or videographer!It is a standalone reservation + booking management platform, which is separate from the app.Not just an app feature – it’s a standalone systemBuilt for dive shops, instructors, charters, and tour operatorsIf you’re a diver, instructor, or dive business owner, this conversation will open your eyes to where the industry is headed — and how tech could finally bring it up to speed.You can register/apply here: https://business.bookwithbuddy.com/registerListings and further details can be found on https://bookwithbuddy.com/ Watch, comment, and share if you believe it’s time to modernize diving!#ScubaDiving #BuddyBooking #DiveTravel #ScubaIndustry #DivingInnovation #ScubaBusiness #ScubaTech #DiveShop #ScubaPodcast–Kenny Dyal is the host of The Scuba Diving Podcast:www.sweetwaterscuba.com
