LISKEARD, U.K. - July 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Dive Centers can now advertise their services, and take direct booking enquiries free of charge on the online Diving start-up DiveReport.com (http://www.divereport.com/) “Since pushing the functionality live we have seen a great response from divers and Dive Centers alike” Catherine Jones one of Dive Report’s Founders “In the past few months we have seen over 500 new Dive Center pages added to the site and 10’s of thousands of dollars of enquiries”

London, 27th July 2013, For immediate release

DiveReport.com, showing an average of 20% month on month growth over the past year is slowly becoming a really useful site for divers and dive professionals alike. Catherine admits there have been pitfalls in the development of the site “Initially we kept it simple; and focused on having a useful location guide with the animal calendars and left the Dive Center side until later” she comments “Now we have a reasonable level of traffic we want to complete the loop and enable divers to enquire about specific courses and specific dates – making it simpler and easier to book with Dive Centers”.

The site, although free, does expect that in-time they will be able to charge for Dive Center Advertising but, as Catherine explains, this is not currently essential; “We want to prove our value to Dive Centers first; every year there is a new directory of some kind asking for a listing fee! We want to show our value, build user behaviour and then hopefully advertising will be a no-brainer”.

The website currently has about 150 locations (http://www.divereport.com/locations/middle-east-and-red-s...) documented, which means there are probably another 500 or so sizable locations left to document. Catherine is offering a deal where, if a Dive Center offers support on writing up the location they will get long-term free advertising on the site, which with current growth rates could pay off with a strong return on investment.
