Hire Dive Gear

Hire Dive Gear

As a rough rule of thumb; if you dive less than 10 times a year, hiring may be a more economical option than purchasing your own gear

Need to hire dive gear in Wellington? If you dive less than 10 times a year ( a  national survey found that Joe Scuba Averages 4.5 dives a year) it’s far cheaper to hire gear than own it. Plus you don’t need to pay annual servicing costs.

We hire equipment for scuba divers & snorkelers. We have a good range : over 40 suits, 20 BCD’s, 20 regulators with octopus and compass, 40 cylinders plus plenty of mask, snorkels, boots & fins etc.

New equipment is introduced every year. We offer standard analogue or computer gauges.

Freedive equipment does not require a certification card.

Divers wanting an airfill are not required to show certification. Any cylinder that is outside it’s test date will not be filled.
