What equipment will I need?

Scuba Adventures gives our AOW students a 50% discount off the regular rental price for gear. That way if you already have certain items, such as a regulator or BC or wetsuit, but not the rest, you can try out various items BEFORE having to buy them outright. Other than that, you will need a mask, fins, and snorkel.
