Can I book for someone else?

Yes. You can book for someone else by entering their details at checkout instead of your own.

Do I need to print my booking confirmation?

Usually no. A digital copy on your phone is accepted, but check your operator’s requirements in the booking confirmation.

Can I make a group booking?

Yes, you can make a group booking. Deal tickets are limited, so larger groups may need to combine discounted tickets with standard-price seats.

Can I pay a deposit or do I need to pay in full?

BookMe requires full payment at the time of booking. Deposits are not accepted.

What payment methods do you accept?

BookMe accepts major credit and debit cards for secure payments.

Are there any booking fees?

No. The price shown on BookMe is the final price you pay, with no hidden booking fees.

Is my payment secure?

Yes. All payments are processed through trusted providers and protected with SSL encryption.

How do I know if my booking is refundable?

Check your booking confirmation. Each operator sets their own refund and cancellation policy, which is listed in your confirmation details.

What happens if bad weather cancels my tour?

Can I change the name on a booking?

Some operators allow name changes. You must contact the operator directly to confirm.

Can I change my travel date?

How do I change my date of travel?

Contact the tour operator directly. Their details are in your booking confirmation, and they will confirm if a new date is possible.

How often are new deals added?

New deals are added daily in real time by operators, so availability and prices can change quickly.

Do prices change depending on the day or time?

Yes. Operators upload deals to fill spare seats during quieter times or for last-minute availability, so prices can vary.

What makes BookMe different from other booking sites?

BookMe is different because deals are uploaded directly by local operators, not resellers. This means genuine discounts straight from the source.

Do I need an account to book?

Yes. You need a free BookMe account to make and manage bookings, cancellations, and refunds.

Is BookMe Australia a trusted website?

Yes. BookMe is a trusted platform where official operators manage their own listings, prices, and availability.

Roos Demmers said... First of all, it’s budget - don’t expect the luxury of a diving school or large corporation. You get what you pay for. This means the gear is ok, but our wetsuits had some damage and holes, and the masks are old and some dirty. Bunkbeds are simple but fine. The food was really great, thanks to chef JP. The sailing with 2m high waves was not pleasant, but part of the sailing experience, so bring seasickness pills just to be sure. I’m not complaining - just honest. Having said that, I would recommend it for people that are comfortable with only the basics and have some experience with boatlife and are comfortable with diving (maybe even with own equipment). If you are very new at diving, it might not be the most comforting experience. You and your buddy are on your own - only first dive is partly guided and night dive is guided - but don’t expect them to help you out of the water or tutor you. Safety checks were good tho. About the dives: First day includes 4 dives, so the planning is very important, and feels rushed some times. Snorkelling wise, our reef visits weren’t the best I think for snorkelling only. For diving they were great, saw turtles sharks and morays! Note that the boat fits 16 guests - but has very limited space indoor and outdoor, with two toilet/showers (let’s just say I was happy we were with only 7 guests). With bad weather it might feel claustrophobic or cramped. Let’s be clear, price/quality wise, it is a great budget option and I still very much enjoyed the trip, it’s just different from the diving trips I am used to. Thanks Masa Richard and JP!
