Dive Kit Hire

Due to Covid-19 we have limited items available for rental. For anything other than diving cylinders, please check with us in advance for updated list of availability to avoid any disappointment.

Email is fast and secure: We are doing our very best to continue essential services during the pandemic. If you need to reserve a cylinder or any other item for hire it will expedite a reply if you email us instead of leaving an answerphone message, so we can look into your request and get back to you on availability.

Underwater Explorers has an extensive range of scuba diving equipment available for short or long term rent throughout the year. You can rent single or twinset wings to BCDs, cylinders, stage bottle, regulator sets, wetsuits, dry suits or canister torches for your diving trips.

Please Note: Due to hygiene concerns we do not hire out masks, wetsuit boots and thinsulate/undersuits. If renting one of our membrane dry suits please ensure you bring appropriate thermal protection to wear underneath.

Booking and Cancellations: A booking is made once the equipment being rented is paid for in full by phone. We have a 7 day cancellation period for any rentals (excluding gas fills) whereby if you let us know a minimum of 7 days before “check out” date, we will issue a full refund. Refunds will not be issued for late cancellations.

If a cylinder booking requires any gas fill other than air, the listed price of nitrox and/or trimix will be charged in advance and is non-refundable.? Our current gas fill prices are listed on our Gas Price Page. Divers are required to fill in a rental form at checkout in the store.
