Scenario:
You are going on a 2 week holiday to Bonaire in the Caribbean and plan to do several dives. Naturally you want to find the best possible IDC (international dive center) with the best service and quality for your needs.
 
A first step might be to search Google for "Bonaire Dive Center". Some of the results are:

As you can see these websites vary pretty much in visual style and quality, but there are some similarities when it comes to content. Most of them cover the concepts:

  • Staff
  • Contact
  • Prices
  • Photo/gallery
  • Teaching (courses)

But that do you really need?
Being a diver myself I've looked at several IDC websites and based on my personal requirements and concluded that I need the following infomation on a IDC website:

  • Courses (what do they teach, PADI vs CMAS vs ...)
  • Trips & Sites (where can I dive and what can I see)
  • Prices (what does it cost - trips + equipment)
  • Photo & Video (real view on the sites - down use low quality images!)
  • About (about the dive center qualifications)
  • Contact (prebook trips etc)

Further there might be branding, news and order areas for various information.
What else are you looking for at your IDC websites?
If I've missed something (which I might have), please drop a comment and describe what kind for information you are always looking for at an IDC before booking your dive.

The first thing a visitor

By Emma Solis (not verified) | 2011.08.02- 10:40

The first thing a visitor will look for in an IDC website is the trips and sites and other exciting and fun adventure that can be done on the site. Next thing is the courses. I definitely agree that courses should be stated in details on any IDC website. Next is the tariff or the cost of their services and finally the Contact Us section for reservations and prebook trips.

I have to agree with you. They definitely have some terrible websites. Somebody needs to come out and help them with their sites. They are professionals and need better sites. mortgage brokers Toronto

This is very useful information for divers whether skilled or not. You should ensure that the people you are diving with are professionals. If you do not do a thorough and keen search then you will end up regretting your choice.
