Consolidated Scuba Diving Platforms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Planet Deepblu' Platform Offers Enhanced Booking Services

— June 19, 2018 — Business
Taiwan-based company Deepblu is leaving no stone unturned in its mission to bring the scuba diving world onto the cloud and into the sharing economy, and one of its latest offerings is Planet Deeblu, a booking platform that is being billed as scuba diving's answer to Uber or Airbnb.

Scuba diving is an activity that quickly becomes addictive, but the fact of the matter is that planning a scuba dive trip is an arduous process that involves tons of research, price comparisons and emailing back-and-forth.

This is where Planet Deepblu comes in. The platform allows divers to directly communicate with dive schools and operators rather than going through agencies, which allows for significant savings as well more convenient booking.

What's more, the Planet Deepblu platform also integrates dive logs, multimedia and social media material from Deepblu's 'COSMIQ+' dive computer, making this a fine example of the sharing economy intersecting with social media and cloud technology to offer an enhanced experience to outdoor enthusiasts, in this case scuba diving addicts.
Trend Themes
1. Cloud-based Scuba Diving Services - Opportunity for scuba diving businesses to offer an all-in-one cloud-based platform that allows divers to access information, book trips, and connect with operators.
2. Sharing Economy and Scuba Diving - Opportunity to integrate social media and sharing economy principles into scuba diving by creating a platform that enables divers to share experiences, connect, and make bookings easily.
3. Direct-to-operator Booking Platforms - Opportunity for travel and tour companies to create a direct-to-operator booking platform that saves customers time and money by bypassing agencies.
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Tour Companies - Companies can create unique direct-to-operator booking platforms that reduce costs and provide more convenient access for customers.
2. Scuba Diving Industry - Scuba diving businesses can leverage cloud technology to create a more streamlined booking experience for customers and offer more integrated services.
3. Social Media and Sharing Economy - Opportunity to integrate social media and sharing economy principles into scuba diving by creating a platform that enables divers to share experiences, connect, and make bookings easily.
