For partners
Bring underwater music to the counter.
SubMergence gives snorkel and dive guests a way to enter the water with music already inside the body: pre-loaded bone-conduction headsets, original underwater soundscapes, and a handoff simple enough to live beside masks and fins.
Built for clear water
A soundtrack for the ocean day guests are already choosing.
SubMergence meets guests in the real rhythm of clear water: pick up a ready headset, choose the beach or reef conditions they already trust, and let music meet breath, buoyancy, and sunlight.
It adds to a day guests already want — a richer, more immersive way to be in the water — with nothing new for them to learn.
What it looks like
A new feeling, not a new operation.
The guest hears the magic. The shop feels the practicality: prepared headset, simple fit note, return, wipe-down, charge.
The strongest version of this partnership is quiet at the counter and unforgettable in the water.
A richer ocean day
Music gives repeat visitors, curious snorkelers, and wellness-minded travelers a reason to say yes to something memorable.
Underwater-native music
SubMergence partners with local and international artists to bring rich custom underwater music to the headsets, leaving visitors with eyes bright, ears wide open, and smiles on their faces.
The partnership, simply: SubMergence brings the stand, prepared headsets, original music, hygiene kit, and staff notes. Your team adds a clear water upgrade at checkout, then follows a clean return path.
Counter math
The only math your team needs
Rentals and purchases are separate, easy to explain, and easy to reconcile.
50/50 rental split
Guests can choose a $20 one-day rental or a $50 weekly rental. The shop keeps $10 or $25, and SubMergence keeps the matching share.
$30 headset purchase share
When a guest buys a $100 headset through the partner program, the shop keeps $30 and SubMergence keeps $70.
Music license note: This is a consignment partnership. The pre-loaded music is licensed for each guest's personal listening; commercial rental of those tracks is permitted through the SubMergence partner program, so shops stay covered and the music stays supported.
At the counter
The staff flow is four small moves
"Want music underwater today? The headset is pre-loaded, waterproof, and ready before you leave the shop."
Hand over the headset with the simple fit note: secure, comfortable, ready before entering the water.
The guest brings the headset back with the rest of their rental gear.
Wipe it down, place it back on charge, and keep the next rental ready.
Safety and responsibility
Respect the water, keep the rental clear
SubMergence is an audio rental, not a replacement for normal ocean judgment, lifeguards, swim ability, or shop safety practices. Guests stay within the conditions they would normally choose for swimming, snorkeling, floating, or pool use.
- No phone is needed in the water; the music is prepared before entry.
- The headset supports surface swimming, floating, snorkeling, and gentle water play.
- Partners are not asked to guide or supervise the guest's water session.
- Returned gear follows the supplied wipe-down and charging flow before the next rental.
