Dive Centre FAQ’s
What essential equipment do I need?
What essential equipment do I need?
If you are diving with us, we can provide all the gear you need as part of your training,this will be fitted prior to your course.
However, if you are new to diving and looking for your first gear purchase, we recommend that each diver starts by investing in their own mask and snorkel. A well-fitting mask is essential to a comfortable dive to make a good seal and minimise leakages. Not forgetting with your mask, and snorkel, you’re set to go snorkelling as well as diving· Fins are also a good purchase for beginners and equally can be used for snorkelling as well as diving.

UK diving is beautiful and we know you’re going to love it, but if you are used to warm water diving you may find it a little colder than you’re used to. For most of the year, we would recommend diving in a dry suit, so we’d advise you to consider completing the Dry Suit Diver speciality course first. Then join us on one of our dive trips to build up your experience.
