What Gear Will I Need
For try dives, just a swimming costume and t-shirt you don’t mind getting wet.
For Ocean Diver, the club will provide all equipment where possible, or recommend dive shops where you can rent high quality, reliable equipment. The pool can be quite cool so a t shirt or a wetsuit is desirable.
