Can a dive shop website take live bookings?
Yes, but it is a different scope from the inquiry form. A booking system that manages availability, confirmations and cancellations, and online payments, are quoted as options.

Seven Things Every Cebu and Bohol Dive Shop Website Needs
Dive shop customers tend to ask the same questions in chat: how much is a discover dive, is there pickup, what should I bring? If a Cebu, Mactan or Bohol dive shop website answers these seven points, your team stops typing the same replies.
1. Courses and prices side by side
Put discover diving, Open Water, Advanced, fun dives and freediving courses on one comparable view. For each, list duration, prerequisites, what is included (gear, materials, boat, meals) and what is not (entrance or environmental fees). Mark prices that change by season or group size as “confirmed on inquiry”.
2. Pickup and meeting point
State clearly whether you pick up from Mactan resorts, whether Cebu City departures are possible and how far pickup goes in Panglao. For guests who arrive on their own, add a meeting-point map and arrival time.
3. What to bring
List what guests should pack: swimwear, towel, sunscreen, certification card or logbook and seasickness medication. Publish health questionnaires and prerequisites only as your instructors and operations team have approved them.
4. A booking inquiry form
Collect preferred date, group size, course, certification level, hotel location and the preferred messaging app in one form. Say clearly that the form is an inquiry, not a confirmed booking; your team confirms by message.
5. Korean and English
If you serve both Korean and international guests, build Korean and English pages with the same structure. Course names, prices and inclusions must match across languages.
6. Real photos
Photos of the shop, boat, equipment and instructors build trust. Avoid other businesses’ images or photos of unknown origin, and only publish underwater shots of guests who agreed to their use.
7. Map and contact details
Keep the Google Maps location, opening hours, messaging contacts and email in every page footer. Adding the website address to your Google Business Profile lets people move from the map straight to your course information.
What scope fits
Course comparison, pickup details and an inquiry form usually fit the BOOKING package (from US$560, 3–6 pages with an inquiry form). A booking system with live availability and online payments are options. DESCENT CLUB below is a LOCALMATE diving concept sample, not a dive shop client project.
