This page outlines v1 partner opportunities available through Exploration Unlimited. We collaborate with dive centers, instructors, equipment suppliers, travel operators, brands, and organizations within the diving industry to support useful visibility, partner discovery, and clearly disclosed sponsored content.

Available v1 Opportunities

Marketing and Visibility

• Sponsored articles, guides, or content collaborations
• Brand ambassador collaborations for relevant gear, travel, training, or destination offers
• Equipment, travel, training, and discovery-surface partner pilots
• Product, destination, or service visibility where it helps divers

Brand Ambassador Collaborations

Exploration Unlimited may consider ambassador, field testing, or product review collaborations when the offer is useful to divers, clearly labeled as commercial collaboration where relevant, and does not compromise editorial independence.

Commercial Surfaces

A surface is the place where approved partner content may appear. Each surface has its own rules so partner content stays useful for divers and clearly separate from normal community content.

• Blog - sponsored guide blocks and affiliate modules after surface approval
• Equipment - gear highlights, partner collections, and affiliate product cards
• Travel - destination campaigns, trip offers, liveaboards, and dive centers
• Explore - cross-domain partner discovery tied to canonical source pages
• Training - training organizations, courses, certifications, instructors, and education partners
• Feed - clearly labeled sponsored partner items with stricter frequency and disclosure rules

Data Access

Data Access is not an advertising placement. It is a separate organization partnership path for environmental, research, and ocean-related organizations that need governed access to observation data.

Current v1 Partner Flow

• Public partner inquiry intake
• Manual review and follow-up by the Exploration Unlimited team
• Selected affiliate, sponsored content, and partner discovery pilots

Booking tools, partner dashboards, self-service ad buying, automated campaign management, advanced targeting, and analytics portals are not part of the v1 offer.

Why Work With Us?
