What does a 3% online booking fee cost on a two-tank dive?

On a US$160 two-tank for one diver, three per cent is US$4.80 on that booking, on top of the monthly price and on top of whatever your card processor charges. On a full boat of eight it is about US$38 for the morning.

Can I pass the fee on to my guest?

With Checkfront that is published as your choice. With Seascape the question does not arise, because there is no booking fee to pass on; what your guest pays is your price plus whatever you decide to charge for.

Why is Checkfront's trial length blank?

Because we could not read it. Its pricing page does not state a trial and the sign-up and free-trial URLs both answered 404 on the date shown, so the cell says not checked rather than repeating something from memory.
