  • Hire period is seven days (Thursday to Thursday), subject to equipment return requirements

  • Faulty equipment is to be tagged with the description of the fault and placed in the faulty equipment crate
  • The number of weights you have hired on a weight belt is recorded in the equipment hire register – the same amount need to be returned!

Equipment Return

Club equipment is a resource for all club members. If you are unable to return the gear either after a club dive or on the Thursday it means that another club member may miss out. Please return gear before it becomes overdue. Overdue fees are calculated weekly at 150% of normal hire fees.If you need equipment for more than a week because you are using it regionally etc have a chat to our and we can do a longer hire in the majority of cases. However, over the main peak periods such as Easter and Christmas this may not be possible.
