GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) and Dive with Buddy announced the launch of GoPro Escapes, a booking platform for group dive travel experiences hosted by GoPro athletes and professional dive guides.

The platform offers multi-day dive trips in destinations including Cozumel, Hawaii, Fiji, Raja Ampat, the Maldives, and Malaysia throughout 2026. Each trip accommodates 10-40 guests and includes accommodations, guided dives, and underwater filming workshops using GoPro cameras.

Customers can book experiences through BookWithBuddy.com and the Buddy mobile app. The trips are designed for divers, content creators, and adventure travelers looking to capture underwater footage.

"GoPro Escapes bring together adventure, creativity, and community in some of the most incredible underwater locations in the world," said Rick Loughery, GoPro's SVP of Global Marketing and Digital Commerce.

Dive shops and operators, including existing GoPro retailers, can list their multi-day trips as GoPro Escapes after registering and receiving approval from GoPro. The operators will have access to branded booking pages on Buddy's platform.

Alexis Jabbour, CEO and Founder of Dive with Buddy, said the partnership allows divers to discover and book GoPro-curated trips in one location while providing dive shops with a new business growth opportunity.

GoPro will showcase the platform at the 2026 SCUBA SHOW in Long Beach, California, on May 30-31 at booth #158, where attendees can interact with cameras from GoPro's MISSION 1 Series product line.

Dive with Buddy operates as a community app and booking marketplace for water adventure activities, connecting divers with dive shops and marine tourism operators worldwide through its website and mobile application.
