Scuba Life Advertising Policy

At Scuba Life, our commitment is to the diving community first—our readers, contributors, and the everyday divers who are the heart and soul of this movement. Advertising on our platform exists to support and sustain this mission, not compromise it.

We believe in authentic partnerships, transparent practices, and community-aligned promotion. This policy outlines how we work with advertisers and what we will—and won’t—accept.

✅ We Accept Advertising From:

  • Dive shops, resorts, liveaboards, and travel providers who promote responsible and sustainable dive travel.

  • Equipment manufacturers, retailers, and gear brands that are trusted, reliable, and transparent about their products.

  • Tourism boards and eco-tourism operators that support ocean conservation and community benefit.

  • Training agencies, educational platforms, and instructors who put safety, education, and accessibility first.

  • Lifestyle and adventure brands that align with our values and serve the broader outdoor and dive lifestyle.

🚫 We Do Not Accept Advertising That:

  • Promotes harmful or unethical practices (e.g., feeding wildlife, irresponsible dive behavior).

  • Makes unsupported claims or deceptive promises.

  • Conflicts with ocean conservation, sustainability, or diver safety.

  • Misrepresents its services, credentials, or affiliations.

  • Feels off-brand or out of touch with the diving lifestyle and culture we represent.

🤝 Sponsorships & Paid Content

We offer sponsored content and advertising options, including:

  • Display ads

  • Sponsored stories or features

  • Brand partnerships or product placements

  • Affiliate promotions (clearly labeled)

  • Social media shoutouts or campaigns

All sponsored content will be clearly marked to maintain transparency with our readers. We only partner with brands and companies we feel add genuine value to the community.

🌊 Our Promise to Readers

We will never allow advertising to influence our editorial voice, limit what stories we tell, or compromise the values of Scuba Life. Our content is driven by divers, not dollars.

If we ever get it wrong, we’ll own it, fix it, and learn from it.
