Buying your Personal Equipment
During the Equipment Seminar you will be sized for your personal equipment. Our staff will get you fitted properly and explain the benefits and costs of equipment ownership.
Personal Equipment is
the minimum equipment that every scuba diver should own. This is the equipment you will use every dive, your Mask, Snorkel, Boots and Fins.
Not Ready to Buy?
No problem! Rentals for the course are $175, and every item has a cost per day. So if you rent on night one, but buy for the remainder of the course you will receive a credit.
But Consider This...
My mask lasted about 1500 dives before it needed replaced. If I were to rent all those days I would have spent over $7500! At $175 you are already half way to owning your own equipment! And you will never need to rent again
