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.
