Divers pay full price. Every time.
Most divers pay the brochure price, every trip. Nobody remembers them, and the dives they log count for nothing. DEPTHREX changes that.

PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer
I'm a dive instructor in the Maldives. I started DEPTHREX because divers pay the full brochure price every trip and get nothing back for coming again. The club changes that: member prices, real perks, and only dive centres that pass our four checks.
01 The money you never see
Dive centres already pay for every diver.
When an agent sends a diver, the dive centre pays the agent a commission. It's already in the price, so you pay the same either way.
Usually the agent keeps all of it. The big booking sites spend it on ads to find the next diver.
The money is already in the price. The only question is who keeps it.
02 So we give it back
Our commission becomes your member price.
DEPTHREX is a booking agent too. The difference: a big part of what the dive centre pays us goes back to club members, as lower prices and free extras.
Joining is free, and the member price is always lower than the dive centre's own price for the same trip.
Shark Island Week, 5 nights, twin room, per diver. Same trip, same dive team, same boat. Paid members save USD 100 a trip.
03 We choose the dive first
A cheap trip is worth nothing if the diving isn't good.
Before we sell a single place, a dive centre has to pass four checks.
- Safety on recordA PADI 5-Star centre or equal, with its own insurance.
- Divers rate it4.5 stars or more from real reviews.
- One price covers itFlights, hotel, meals and diving in one package, so nothing surprises you on the island.
- It's in writingA signed agreement on prices, what's included and refunds, before we sell a place.
04 The club is the point
One trip is a holiday. The club is what you build after it.
- Member price on every tripFree to join, and it never runs out.
- Bring a diver, get USD 75For every friend who books with your name and completes the trip.
- Shot of the MonthSend your best shot. The public votes, and the most votes wins.
- A community, and a safer way to find a buddyTrip reports and questions from real divers. Buddy requests share contact details only when both say yes.
Rank patches, earned on trips
You can't buy a patch. A Trident on a wetsuit means twelve trips, not a big budget.
05 What we promise
- The price you see is the price you pay. Both amounts are shown before you send anything.
- A receipt for every payment.
- Your details stay with DEPTHREX. We never sell them.
- We only sell diving we would book for ourselves.
06 Where next
Fuvahmulah is the first.
Whale sharks and mantas in South Ari are next. Club members hear first and book first.
