Especially then.

Definitely! Small teams benefit the most. You get visibility without needing staff or having to deal with technology or marketing. Large platforms prefer large providers, but we don’t.

There are different profile options. The free profile allows you to add a picture and information about your dive center. Premium profiles offer additional features, including galleries, customer ratings, call statistics, price lists, and more. You can find an overview of the premium profile advantages here.

To us, every profile is an asset. Whether it’s free or premium.
Your profile drives more readers to unterwasser-fotografieren.de, creating a win-win situation for everyone.

The more often your profile is viewed, the more visibility we gain, as well as your profile. This brings potential advertising and agency customers who help finance our company and the free profiles.

Yes, Scuba Ads and Unterwasser-Fotografieren.de are our websites. They were created by Tino Marquez, a passionate diver and underwater photographer.

The sites provide independent, neutral information and reviews of products, diving centers, and more.

If a product is unsuitable or if customers are dissatisfied with a dive center, this can be stated on the site as well.

Transparency is important to us, which is why we do not accept influence from associations, hotel groups, tour operators, or other groups.

Anyone who would like to be featured on the site can do so via our advertising system.

Yes, that is the basic idea behind our platform. Whether you work alone or have 100 employees, your profile will be treated like all the others and matched by chance alone.

However, there are two exceptions:

First, if your profile has not been updated for more than a year, it will not be shown in the preselection.

Second, there are premium listings, which allow you to highlight your profile in the selection of dive centers from the region for one month. To ensure that not only premium dive centers are listed, one place is always randomly assigned. If several profiles participate in the Premium Listing, the places are randomly assigned each time the page loads.

A lot of work goes into creating the regularly updated marketing tips. For this reason, access to these articles and lists is only granted to those who have booked a Premium profile for a year.

Google and Facebook:
Ads within the search results (SERPS) or on social media are not very trustworthy, and ongoing campaigns are quite expensive.
The basic Scuba Ads profile instead is free and with premium upgrades, you pay a fixed price and decide which optional extensions to book.

Booking Portals:
To be true – they offer an enormous outreach that Scuba Ads cannot match. However, scattering loss and competition are also significantly greater.
Scuba Ads focuses on diving, diving trips, and underwater photography. This means your diving center will be shown to relevant customers, not vacation bookers who want to visit the pyramids or the rainforest. Additionally, we don’t charge booking or contact request margins because we finance ourselves differently.

If you provide all the necessary information and images, your profile can be activated within 48 hours — often even faster. The onboarding process is intentionally simple. Need help? Direct support is also available in the user area.

Yes, you can manage multiple bases and ships (and, in the long term, dive resorts) with one login. Each location has its own profile, but they can all be managed centrally.

No, Scuba-Ads is a self-contained platform that is fully compliant with data protection regulations. You don’t need to integrate anything or observe any legal requirements. We don’t set external tracking cookies or use retargeting or third-party monitoring. This makes your profile legally compliant and trustworthy — free from legal pitfalls.

Both Scuba-Ads and unterwasser-fotografieren.de are hosted on secure Hetzner servers in Germany. All data is stored within the EU. The hosting is fast, reliable, and GDPR-compliant. Your content is always available and subject to German data protection law. This means that customer inquiries via unterwasser-fotografieren.de are GDPR-compliant as well.

Yes, with a high probability. Your content will appear in editorial articles and search engine-optimized topic worlds. This significantly increases your visibility on Google, even without a state-of-the-art website.
Your profile is optimized for search engines, loads quickly, and is responsive, making it ideal for mobile devices and Google.

Overly positive. You receive backlinks from a topic-relevant, high-quality domain, which is a strong factor in improving your page’s position in search engine results. You can also link to or embed your profile on your website. This means the profile doesn’t compete with your site; it’s an addition that gives your site a boost.

Both yes and no. For data protection reasons, we do not use external analysis tools, such as Google Analytics. To ensure you can still track your profile’s performance, we have our own tracking system that counts clicks and views on your profile. You can view various data, such as page views and clicks on your website or email, in profile administration, but you won’t see any personal data or profiling.

In principle, you own the images and the copyright to them. No one can take that away from you. However, by uploading your images to unterwasser-fotografieren.de, you agree that they may be used for editorial purposes on this website. To ensure you benefit from this as well, we label all third-party images used in posts with a photo credit — in your case, the name of your dive center/boat and a link to your profile.
