Required Equipment

To ensure you have the best experience during training, it’s essential to have personal gear that fits you perfectly. This includes your mask, fins, boots, and snorkel—items specifically chosen to provide comfort and performance.

We are committed to your success, which is why we take the time to ensure your gear fits properly. Poorly fitted equipment can significantly impact your enjoyment and safety underwater. During training in our on-site pool, if there’s an issue with your gear, we can exchange it for a better fit—but this service is only available for gear purchased at our store.

Personal gear is a valuable investment that lasts for years and is versatile for snorkeling and other water activities. To make sure you’re ready, we recommend visiting our store several days before your class begins for a personalized fitting. Arriving on the first day of training may limit the time available for a proper fitting, so plan ahead to dive with confidence!
