GREAT NEWS FOR SWIMMERS! - Our 750 metre swim loop has reopened for the Summer
Whether you need a single item or a complete set of kit, we offer a full range of high quality dive gear available for hire.
DON'T HAVE ALL YOUR OWN GEAR?
DIVE + SWIM EQUIPMENT HIRE
Want to come diving or swimming but don't have your own gear? With our select range of high quality rental gear available to certified divers and open water swimmers, you can take the plunge without denting your wallet.
All our rental equipment is regularly serviced and is available in a variety of different sizes. Dive equipment can be rented either individually - forget your fins? Not a problem! - or as a complete 'package'. We strongly recommend that you reserve any equipment you need in advance as the availability of some items - particularly drysuits - is limited.

PLEASE NOTE: Prices are correct at date of publication. We reserve the right to change prices at any time - please contact us for latest pricing.
Terms & Conditions
  • Hire equipment is only available for use at Vobster Quay - hire equipment may not be taken off-site.
  • Cylinder hire does not include the cost of gas which is charged as an extra. Our gas prices can be viewed online.
  • Whilst we do have a good selection of hire equipment available, we recommend that you reserve equipment in advance to ensure that we have the right size for you.
  • Drysuits are only available for hire to divers who hold a drysuit certification or can prove suitable experience of diving a drysuit.
DIVING CYLINDERS
