Required Equipment

You are responsible for bringing your own personal gear to training (mask, fins, boots, snorkel). We call it this because this gear has the most personal fit to you.

This gear is so important we spend as much time as it takes to get you the best fit. A bad mask fit or bad fin fit will ruin your dive. If there is a problem in our on-site pool, we can trade out the gear and get you in what is best for you.

Your personal gear lasts quite a long time and is also perfect for snorkeling. So invest in a proper fit.

We suggest coming in several days before class begins for a personal fitting. Note: Coming in the first day of training doesn’t give us time to provide a careful, proper fitting.
