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 for through the club Treasurer, using SumUp or bank transfer.

We do, however, ask members to provide their own mask, hood, fins, weight belt, and snorkel, as well as booties for pool sessions, as these are the least expensive and most personal items. EUSAC members get a 10% at Edinburgh Dive Centre, though there are many groups on Facebook where good deals on second hand kit can be found. We do not provide drysuit/undersuit rental, but can direct you towards the nearest places. Questions about kit can be directed towards our Kit Officer.

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!
