Be A Wise Traveller
Dive vacations are expensive and stressful enough to plan. Check out these tips below that I use myself to save money, be more efficient, and ease stress when travelling.
Save Money
Wise: The International Account
What?Wise is an international money transfer app. You can create digital wallets in different currencies, easily transfer money between your wallets while getting the best exchange rate, and use your digital card to tap to pay in the local currency where ever you are. This saves on international payment fees, and you get a better exchange rate when you transfer money between your currency wallets than you’d get just tapping your foreign card to make payments overseas. I’ve also found some dive centres accept deposits/payment to their Wise account, which’ll save you credit card & international fees.

Booking.com
What?I’m sure you’ve heard of Booking.com. Just like Expedia etc. Booking.com is a website/app that allows you to search for accommodation, flights, rental cars etc for your exact dates and budget, and book it right through the app/website. Often, you can book with zero payment (pay when you get to the accommodation), and most often than not the booking is fully refundable up to a week or so before the booking date. This means Booking.com is a fantastic tool for planning your trip and securing accommodation options, whilst keeping the flexibility to amend or change your travel plans with no financial cost to you. Better still, the more you book with Booking.com, the more “Genius Rewards” you get, like 10-15% off all your bookings and free breakfast etc. I always book accommodation and rental cars through Booking.com for this exact reason, and because I know they are a legit, trusted website.
How?Download the Booking.com app and start searching for your next favourite hotel - it’s as simple as that.
CurrencyTransfer
What?Whether you need to pay your deposit for that dream diving vacation to the dive center’s foreign bank account, or you’re an expat like me transferring your paycheque to your home account, you should consider CurrencyTransfer. CurrencyTransfer is one of the world's leading online money transfer companies & global currency exchange. Their app makes it easier, faster, and more cost efficient to transfer money across borders. They give you the same access to compare money transfer rates as the big FTSE100, and are fully transparent in any fees. Often times, banks advertise 0% commission on international currency transfers, but have hidden fees in awful exchange rates. CurrencyTransfer allows you to transfer funds internationally with the best rates and transparent fees.
