Notes About Hiring Equipment
These prices cover gear hire only. Please check the boat diving section for additional boat fees
Club gear and air fills are for club members only – you can’t hire equipment or get air fills on behalf of a non-member
Please test all gear and check your tank pressure while you’re at the club as it helps avoid problems, stress, or missed dives later (we have pressure checkers available, so just ask if you’re unsure)
Because our hire fees are already very low, we don’t offer discounts for returning full tanks and rehiring the same tank
If you find any faulty equipment, tag it with a brief description of the issue and place it in the faulty equipment crate
The number of weights issued on a weight belt is recorded in the hire register – the same number of weights need to be returned!
Equipment Return
Club equipment is shared by all members, so please give everything a good rinse after use as salt water can be tough on gear if left unwashed. If any equipment is lost or damaged beyond normal wear and tear, the member who hired it will need to pay for the repair or replacement of said equipment in most cases.
If gear isn’t returned after a club dive or by Thursday, it can mean another member misses out. Please return equipment on time to keep things running smoothly. If you need a longer hire than a week, depending on demand, we can usually work something out but please let the equipment officer know before hiring the gear. Overdue fees are charged weekly at 150% of the normal hire rate.
