FAQs
​
1. What is Dyve?
Dyve is Trinidad & Tobago’s first curated, premium-quality directory and discovery platform designed to highlight exceptional local businesses. From restaurants and boutiques to wellness studios, hotels, salons, and more — Dyve helps you find trusted, verified businesses that deliver outstanding products, service, and experiences.
​
​
2. Why did Dyve start in the North/West of Trinidad?
​
Dyve was created in the north where our team is based, so naturally many of our early relationships and verified features began there. But Dyve is not a “north-only” directory — our mission is to spotlight the best businesses from all across Trinidad & Tobago.
As we grow, we’re actively expanding to Central, South, East, Tobago, and everywhere in between.
