Choosing and using your gear is part of the fun of diving.  We will help you find the right equipment.  Each piece of equipment performs a different function so that collectively, it adapts you to the underwater world. 

What Do I Need to Get Started?

As a minimum, you want your own mask, fins and snorkel when you start diving in the PADI Open Water Diver course. These have a personal fit, and we will help you choose ones that have the fit and features best suited to you.

We provide the rest of your gear for all or part of your PADI Open Water Diver course as part of the enrollment fee.  It’s recommended that you invest in your equipment when you start your course because:

• you’re more comfortable learning to dive using gear chosen
• you’re more comfortable using gear fitted for you
• divers who own their own gear dive more
• having your own gear is part of the fun of diving

What kind of gear you will need depends on conditions where you dive: Tropical, Temperate,  Cold, Technical
