Trust and verification
Verified businesses on one side, divers verified by the people they worked for on the other.
How businesses are verified
Agencies and dive centers are checked before they can see divers’ names and photos or contact them. Verification comes with Pro and Max, at no extra cost.
- Mostly automatic checks: the business email against its website, the dive center’s listing with its certifying agency, its public presence, and the registration or licence documents it uploads.
- An agency doesn’t need a website: a verified dive center accepting it as a partner counts instead.
- Clear passes are verified in minutes. Borderline cases go to our team, usually within 1–2 days.
- On Free, a business can publish up to 5 jobs, marked Unverified. Divers see a summary only and can tap Interested; the business sees how many, not who.

How divers are verified
Divelance doesn’t check divers’ documents, and uses no outside identity services. Divers are verified by the businesses they worked for. It’s free on every plan.
- A diver is verified once a verified dive center or agency confirms they worked there (a reference),
- or once they’ve completed a booking with one through Divelance.
- Profiles show how many verified businesses a diver worked with and their references, not a score.
- Divers choose, per certification, whether businesses can see their card photos.
How references work
1
The diver asks
From their profile, by email, or with a link or QR code to send themselves.
2
The business confirms
The year they worked together, the diver’s roles, whether they’d work with them again, and a note.
3
It counts
Once the business is verified. A business not on Divelance yet can sign up from the request.
The business can change or withdraw a reference later, and the diver can hide any reference from their profile.
Ratings that stay fair
- Divers and businesses can rate each other after a booking ends (on Pro and Max).
- Others see only the average, and only from 3 ratings, never the reasons.
- The rated person sees each rating with its reason, and can ask us to review one they think is unfair.
Private by design
- Diver identities are protected behind business verification.
- Businesses reach divers through Divelance, never by their email or phone number.
- Documents show only their type and dates. Reference numbers and copies are shown only to a business a diver is working with, and the diver sees each look.
- Personal data is masked after 90 days, and everything is stored in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany).
