Scuba diving doesn't have to be costly.

All members of EUSAC have access to our kit supplies. The vast majority of our club do not have their own air tanks, buoyancy jackets or regulators and instead use club kit. All of our kit is well maintained and available for a small kit charge, which can be paid through the club treasurer. 

Safety first 

Most kit failures are due to bad treatment or service. The club ensures that all club kit gets serviced regularly and frequently, according to manufacturers guidelines, by professionals. But it is responsibility of ALL kit users to look after it, treat it with respect and care, wash it after diving, and store it neatly and appropriately.

Our kit is our safety!
Scuba Gear:
  • BC Jackets in a variety of sizes
  • Regulators: First stage, 2nd stage DV, Octopus DV, pressure gauge, BC and drysuit inflation hose. Most club regs are Apex DIN
