After it took James Tsuei a month of research and messages to design a make a plunge Indonesia, he chose it was the ideal opportunity for his startup, Deepblu, to dispatch a booking stage for jumpers. Planet Deepblu charges itself as "the Airbnb for jumping" and is the most recent bit of the plunging biological community the Taipei-based startup is building.
The Capital
Situated in Taipei and upheld by Silverlink Capital, Deepblu was established in 2015 to bring assets for jumpers into the versatile, cloud-based period. Its items incorporated a Bluetooth-empowered jump PC called COSMIQ and an informal organization where clients share plunge logs. Plunge PCs are little gadgets, regularly worn like wristwatches, that let jumpers track and figure imperative data, for example, when they have to take a decompression stop.

Deepblu drew on its group for Planet Deepblu, incorporating their plunge logs, audits, recordings and photographs to enable clients to design jumping trips. There are as of now a few plunge booking locales out there, yet Tsuei, Deepblu's prime supporter and CEO, says they work more like Agoda or Booking.com, while Planet Deepblu's Airbnb-like approach implies jumpers can utilize it to discuss straightforwardly with jump administrators as opposed to depending on organizations.
Tsuei claims this can spare them up to 25% on the aggregate cost of an outing. By filling in as a unified database for plunge arranging, Planet Deepblu likewise needs to spare its clients time.

Jumpers spend a normal of $1,000 on hardware and affirmation, and afterward much more cash on plunge shops (organizations keep running by master jumpers who give preparing and visits), flights and convenience. For energetic jumpers, it's something other than an interest.

"It resembles playing golf," says Tsuei. "There's a higher obstruction to passage since it requires investment and cash, however it additionally turns out to be a piece of your way of life." Out of the 40,000 individuals from Deepblu's interpersonal organization, the organization says in regards to 40% have transferred their own jump logs, which is an abnormal state of engagement for any online group (Deepblu likewise matches up with Bluetooth-empowered plunge PCs from real jumping gear brands like Scubapro and Tusa or gives individuals a chance to enter information physically).
The Developer
For specialist co-ops, one of Planet Deepblu's incentives is achieving more youthful jumpers. In spite of the fact that scuba jumpers are energetic about what they do, Tsuei says that in numerous key markets, including the Caribbean, jumpers are maturing into their sixties, yet their children aren't tailing them into the game. Rather, more youthful individuals are swinging to surfing and outrageous games. Developing markets like China and Southeast Asia, in any case, are seeing an expansion in youthful jumpers.

Some portion of Deepblu's feasible arrangements incorporate making a "LinkedIn for Divers," with highlights like confirmed profiles for individuals who transfer a duplicate of their permit, which can enable independent expert jumpers to discover more customers.
