Welcome to the gear hire portal. As a member of the Underwater Club, you are entitled to hire scuba equipment for up to one week (7 days) at a time. We have all the gear for your scuba diving and snorkeling needs including: Tanks, regulators, BCDs, wetsuits, masks, weights and fins.
This has to be added as a separate item on the same period as the rest of the gear. When the gear is returned in proper and clean order the bond will be returned. If the gear is not properly cleaned in fresh water after the booking, the bond will not be returned. If the gear is returned late and this has not been prearranged with the gear officers, the cost of hiring the gear out for the additional time will come out of the bond.
Please note that gear hire is limited to 1 set per person (excluding tanks*), and if you have multiple sets booked you will be unable to collect these when you arrive at the shed. We also have a strict gear return policy for the weeks leading up to club trips, with gear required to be returned to the shed on Tuesday - the gear officers will inform you at the shed if this is going to affect your booking.
If you have any problems, please contact the gear officers on the following email address:
If you need an urgent response, please try a gear officer on one of the following numbers:
If for some reason (bond is not paid, the gear is not available, the gear is in need of service or other reasons) the gear should not be available to rent out, the gear officers have the right to cancel the order, and will return the money paid so far in the booking.
The UWC gear shed is open every Tuesday and Thursday night between 6-6.30pm and is located downstairs at the Sam Cracknell Pavillion (H8) between the main walkway and the Village Green. If you can't make it during that time please email the gear officers to see what you can organise.
If there are no bookings, no one will be there!
The gear shed is located at the BACK of Sam Cracknell pavilion.
