Founding Guide Programme · 20 seats only

Your community already books trips. Now get paid for it.

You bring the divers. You plan the trip. You carry the group chat. MyDivePod turns the work you already do into commission, bonuses, and a platform built for guides — not a spreadsheet.

What is MyDivePod

A booking platform built around the person who actually organises the trip.

Every other platform sells to the individual diver. We know how group diving really works: one person rallies the crew, picks the boat, chases deposits, and answers a hundred messages. That person is you. MyDivePod gives you the tools to run it — and pays you for the bookings you were already driving.

01

Live liveaboard inventory

300+ boats with real availability and pricing from day one — no back-and-forth emails to operators to find out if there's space.

02

The group runs itself

Each traveller pays their own deposit and tranches directly. No more fronting money, splitting invoices, or chasing the one friend who always pays late.

03

You set the experience

Open a Pod, invite your divers, add your own markup if you want. You keep the relationship and the brand — we handle payments, contracts and logistics.

04

You earn from spot one

Commission on every booking plus a cash bonus on volume. No threshold, no waiting period, no application. List a trip and start earning.

The difference · Pods

A Pod is just your group — with the admin removed.

Three ways to run a trip, depending on who's coming and how you want to earn. You choose per trip.

Closed

Fam Pod

Friends & family

Your inner circle. A private trip for people you already dive with, with a built-in group discount as a thank-you.

  • 5% group discount baked in
  • Invite-only, fully private
  • Everyone pays their own way
Most popular

Guided Pod

Instructor-led

The core of the programme. You lead a closed group, add your own markup if you like, and earn full commission on every spot.

  • Optional markup up to +15% — you keep 100%
  • Commission on every booking
  • Counts toward your $500 bonuses
Public

Epic Pod

Certified Guides only

A public, premium trip open to the whole MyDivePod community. Fill spots beyond your own network and reach new divers.

  • Listed publicly to all divers
  • Premium pricing & positioning
  • Commission + bonus on every spot
Why guides switch

You're already doing the work. You're just not getting paid for it.

The coordination, the trust, the group — that's the hard part, and you already own it. Here's what changes when you bring it onto MyDivePod.

✕WhatsApp threads + a shared spreadsheet
✓One link. Everyone books & pays themselves.
✕Fronting deposits and chasing payments
✓Operator-direct tranches, zero money handling
✕Hours of unpaid organising
✓Commission + $500 bonuses on the same trips
~65% of liveaboard groups are organised by one person. Today, 70% of that happens off-platform — unpaid. That's the gap we close.

Founding vs Ambassador

Two ways in. One is closing fast.

The programme itself is identical — same bonus, same payouts, same platform. The only difference is your commission rate, and whether you got here first.

Only 20 ever

Founding Guide

10% / booking
Of the operator standard rate — locked for life, on every Pod you ever open.

  • Same $500 bonus per 6 confirmed spots
  • First pick of Epic Pod positioning

How it works

From group chat to paid, in four steps.

1

Open a Pod

Pick a boat from live inventory, set your dates, choose Fam, Guided or Epic.

2

Share one link

Send it to your divers. They book their own spot and pay their own deposit.

3

We handle the rest

Payments, tranches, contracts and operator coordination run automatically.

4

Get paid

Commission lands per tranche. Every 6 spots triggers a $500 bonus.

20 Founding Guide seats. That's the whole list.

If you organise dive trips and have a community that trusts you, this is built for you. Lock in 10% for life before the cohort closes.
