Equipment
Diving requires the use of a snorkelling system, air delivery system, information system, buoyancy control system and exposure protection system. Whilst we supply use of all systems for the duration of the course we do recommend that students purchase as a minimum their own snorkelling system early on in their diving career as this ensures personal comfort, hygiene and fit.
Students receive a 15% discount whilst on course for a mask, snorkel, fin & boot package.
Receive a 10% discount whilst on course for a mask & snorkel only purchase.
Ask our team members or your instructor about owning your own snorkelling system. Take it home today with Ezi Pay ~ with no interest ever!
