Damaged Equipment: We accept that from time to time small accidents occur and we will judge damage on merit at our discretion. However, the rental equipment is of good quality, and the rental price is kept to a very reasonable level due to our successful policy of only charging the individual who DAMAGES the item rather than a blanket charge to everyone else. Very fair!

Most of the training agencies now have options for you to buy an electronic version of your certification card(s) on your smart phone.

Quality Scuba Gear For Hire

​

Please Note That Rental Gear Is NOT for the purpose of Independent Instructors to use for Training Exercises or Course unless Authorized Under Scubaworld & Universal Adventures.

​

Scubaworld & Universal Adventures  has a little different policy on rental gear than most dive shops. We rent the same top of the line gear that we have available for sale in our dive shop. Currently our hire gear lineup includes:

​

  • Scubapro BCDs

  • Scubapro Regulators

  • Aladin computers

  • Faber steel cylinders (10.5, 12.2 & 15 litre)

  • Catalina and Luxfer aluminium cylinders (S80, 11.1 litre)

  • Standard Weight Belts

  • Reef Wetsuits - 3mm to 5mm.

​

Hire Scuba Cylinders

​

We have Faber steel 232 bar cylinders (10.5, 12.2 & 15 litre) plus Catalina and Luxfer aluminium 207 and 240 bar cylinders (S80, 11.1 litre) available for rental.

​

Cylinders are full when you first rent them with filtered air. You will need to pay for any additional refills during the rental period. You do not have to pay to refill a cylinder when you bring it back at the end of the rental period.

​

We at Scuba World Encourage you to own your own Soft Gear.

​

  • Masks: Masks are often kept from fogging up by using Anti Fog (bought at your local dive center)inside the lens and rubbing it all over the glass let it dry whilst Kitting Up. This provides a film that will not allow condensation to adhere to the glass. To remove the film on New Masks, use a slightly abrasive agent like toothpaste. Avoid gel type toothpaste and go for common white toothpaste. NOTE: THIS IS FOR GLASS LENSES ONLY, NOT PLASTIC (POLYCARBONATE) LENSES. Plastic lens masks, such as the freediving favorite AquaSphere Sphera mask, scratch easily and may even come with an anti-fog agent already applied to the lens. Toothpaste, or other abrasive agents, as well as fingernails may scratch and ruin plastic lenses! If you decide to pre-treat your plastic (polycarbonate) lens with toothpaste, do so at your own risk. One way to minimize scratching plastic (polycarbonate) lenses is to use a soft, wet washcloth and rub lightly in a circular motion.

  • Snorkels: We soak in Anti Bacterial Liquid .At the end of the day, we care about your health.

  • Fins: Fins propel you through the water. They must fit your feet comfortably and you must be able to use them effectively without causing cramps. You own your own shoes, why wouldn't you own your own fins?

  • Wetsuits: Although we can hire you a Wetsuit, again we advise that you consider purchasing your own. The reality is that although we take a lot of care in the maintenance of our hire wet suits, Plus Make sure that it will fit you properly. A bad fitting Wetsuit will allow cold water to enter and chill you on your dive.
