Overview

The Available Trips feed shows all trip listings currently seeking a dive guide. As soon as an operator posts a trip, it appears here. Standard subscribers get 24–48 hours early access before Free members.

Browsing Available Trips

  • Go to Guide Trips → Available in your account.
  • Each card shows: trip name, operator, location, departure date, duration, trip type, group size, certifications required, and when the listing was posted.
  • Click a card to read the full details — dive sites, expectations, operator notes, and specific requirements.

Submitting an Offer

  1. Open the trip listing and click Submit Offer.
  2. Enter your proposed rate for this specific trip (day rate or total fee).
  3. Write your offer note (3–5 sentences): your relevant experience for this trip type, any familiarity with the location or specific sites, a specific reason you are a strong fit, and confirmation of your availability.
  4. Click Send Offer.

After Submitting

  • Accepted — the trip moves to your My Trips tab. Contact the operator directly to coordinate logistics.
  • Declined — normal. Operators receive multiple offers. Keep your profile complete and keep applying.
  • No response after 7 days — you can withdraw and resubmit with an updated note if the trip is still listed.
