Should technical dive trips allow instant confirmation?

Often no. A safer workflow can take payment intent or deposit while keeping the booking in host review until readiness requirements are complete.

What should technical readiness review include?

It should include certifications, recent experience, equipment configuration, gas assumptions, insurance, waivers, medical acknowledgement, trip-specific questions, and host approval.

Why Technical Dive Expeditions Need Readiness Review

Technical dive expeditions need readiness review because payment alone does not confirm certification fit, equipment fit, gas planning, recent experience, medical comfort, insurance, or host approval for the specific departure.
