ScubaDiverLink uses a request-to-book model — you request a spot, the operator reviews and confirms, and then payment is collected. This ensures operators can vet divers before they appear on the manifest.
The interactive seat map shows the boat layout with available, taken, and your assigned seats highlighted. The legend at the bottom explains each colour. Seat assignment is managed by the operator.
Most operators require a signed liability waiver before check-in. When a waiver is required, a Sign Waiver panel appears on your trip detail page (My Trips → click any confirmed booking). To sign:
Once signed, the waiver panel is replaced with a green Waiver Signed confirmation. Your QR boarding pass becomes available at that point. Operators can see your signed waiver and signature image from their booking management page.
After the operator confirms your request, you receive a payment link by email and notification. You can also pay from within the app:
Track all your bookings — past, present, and upcoming — manage your vacation schedule, and share your adventures with friends.
The Bookings tab lists all your trips with their current status:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Confirmed | Your booking and payment are complete. You are on the manifest. |
| Pending | Awaiting operator confirmation or payment completion. |
| Completed | The trip has departed. You can now leave a review. |
| Cancelled | The booking was cancelled (by you or the operator). |
| Refunded | A refund has been issued to your original payment method. |
Once your waiver is signed and payment is complete, a QR code boarding pass is generated automatically. Present it to the operator's crew at the dock for check-in — they scan it to mark you as boarded. You can also find it in the Trip Detail view (see 7.3).
