What do I need to start?

Choosing and using your gear is part of the fun of diving. Dive Centre Manly's friendly and knowledgeable staff will help you find the right equipment. Each piece of equipment performs a different function so that collectively, it adapts you to the underwater world.

What Do I Need to Get Started?

Although all equipment is included in our open water programs, you will find you may want to purchase your own personal diving system (mask, fins and snorkel) when you start diving in the ocean. These have a personal fit, and we will help you choose ones that have the fit and features best suited to you.

It’s recommended that you invest in your equipment when you start your course because:

• you’re more comfortable learning to dive using gear chosen

• you’re more comfortable using gear fitted for you

• divers who own their own gear dive more

• having your own gear is part of the fun of diving

Dive Centre Manly offers exclusive student specials on personal diving systems - ask about these packages when booking your course with us.
