When you begin training the club will provide the air cylinder, regulator and buoyancy jacket, you will have to provide the more personal items of kit including fins, mask and snorkel.
As you complete your training and move on to open water, you will require a dry suit and other equipment which can be hired from a dive shop, club members will usually be happy to lend equipment to enable you to decide which type is best for you.
As you become a regular diver you will then need to purchase the essential equipment, as the club equipment is required for newer trainees.
A neoprene dry suit costs from £300, a membrane suit somewhat more, other essentials would be a regulator and octopus (spare regulator) £250, instrument console £80, buoyancy jacket £270, air cylinder £130, knife £20, weight-belt £25.
However there is usually a supply of good second-hand equipment available which can reduce the start-up costs considerably. |  |
