Should technical dive trips allow instant confirmation?

Often no. A safer workflow can take payment intent or deposit while keeping the booking in operator 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 operator 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 operator approval for the specific departure.
