One of my long-outstanding actions has been to set up an Equipment Register which the club and its members will lend out to other members. Well, I’ve finally got round to it - see the menu on the left.

Any of us who started diving early on in life will probably remember that having to buy your own equipment can put quite a dent in your monthly salary, and even a more experienced diver trying UK diving for the first time can find that buying Tanks, weights, and drysuit can stretch the finances a little.

The idea of the Equipment Register, therefore, is to enable members to borrow equipment on an occasional basis, from the club, or from other members. Any members who have scuba equipment they’re prepared to lend out, please email me (click on my name at the top of this post), and I’ll add you to the register.

Please note that all arrangements concerning the loan of the equipment are arranged between the lender and the borrower - the club takes no responsibility for ensuring that the items on this list are fit for use (other than the club’s own items, naturally!), and cannot offer compensation to lenders for items which are lost or damaged by the borrower, or to borrowers for items which are unfit for use.
