Ranking Transparency

Dive-shop and dive-site results currently prefer listings with an available featured image, then use a stable daily rotation. This avoids permanently fixing one business at the top.

• Name uses alphabetical order after image availability where applicable.
• Recent prioritises recently discovered or updated records.
• Dive-site rating uses recommendation percentage, review count and name.
• Dive-site depth uses recorded maximum depth and name.
• Nearby results primarily use distance, then rating and review signals.

Search words, map area and selected filters restrict eligible results. Dive Shops, Dive Sites, Marine Life and Ocean Tracks search different fields and datasets.

Ratings, recommendation percentage, review count, image availability, verification state and completeness may affect particular views. No signal guarantees safety, quality or availability.

Any future placement influenced by payment will be clearly labelled Featured or Sponsored and distinguishable from organic results.

Future personalisation may consider approximate location, saved items, searches or booking history only where disclosed and lawfully used. Material changes to production ranking will be reflected here.
