The problem

Your boats aren't empty because divers don't want to dive.

They're empty because bookings leak out between "I'm interested" and "I paid". Most dive shops have at least three of these four leaks:

Leak 1

They can't find you

An incomplete Google Business Profile, few recent reviews, and no presence when someone asks ChatGPT "best dive shop near me".

Leak 2

They find you but don't book

No clear "book now" path, a contact form instead of dates, or a surprise booking fee at checkout.

Leak 3

They ask, then go cold

Inquiries answered hours or days later. By then, they've booked with the shop that replied first.

Leak 4

They book once and disappear

No follow-up after the course, so no Advanced course, no fun dives, no trips, no gear sales.

One new Open Water student isn't worth just the course fee. Add gear, fun dives, the next course and the trips that follow, and one diver is worth well over $1,000. Every leak costs you that.

The pilot deal

Why it's free, and what I ask in return

I'm building case studies before launching the Full Boat Booking System. You get the full system for free. I get real results to show.

You get

  • The complete system above, worth $9,000, for $0
  • Everything I build stays yours, whatever happens
  • A clear before-and-after report at 60 days

You commit to

  • Sharing your current numbers, so we can measure the change
  • Replying to new inquiries within 1 hour
  • Approving the changes within 14 days
  • An honest testimonial if it works

We set the goal target of extra bookings together.

Measured against your own starting numbers.

If we hit it, you can keep me on for ongoing support at a monthly fee we agree on upfront. If we don't, you owe nothing and keep everything I built.

Is this for you?

Best fit for the pilot

Great fit

  • Dive shops, dive resorts and liveaboards selling courses or trips of $500+
  • You already get website visitors or inquiries
  • The owner or manager can respond quickly

Not a fit (yet)

  • A brand-new shop with no website or traffic yet
  • Nobody can reply to inquiries within a few hours
  • You're looking for a new logo or brand rather than bookings

FAQ

Questions dive shop owners ask

Do I have to switch booking systems?

No. The Book-Direct page and follow-up sit on top of what you already use (FareHarbor, Rezdy, Bookeo, Checkfront, or email and phone). If you have no system at all, I'll help you pick one.

Is it really free? What's the catch?

It's free for the 5 pilot shops. In return I ask for your starting numbers, quick replies to inquiries, and an honest testimonial if it works. Ad spend for the Google campaigns is paid directly by you to Google, so you control the budget.

What happens after 60 days?

We compare your bookings to your starting numbers. If we hit the goal and you want to continue, you can keep me on for ongoing support at a monthly fee agreed upfront. If not, you keep everything and owe nothing.

How much of my time does it take?

About 2 hours over the 30 days: a kick-off call, sharing access, and approving the changes. I do the rest.

Why only 5 spots?

Because I build every system personally and want each pilot to get my full attention.
