cutiecupid15,

Tanks can be rented at Eden Rock to be used off-site, so they might be willing to also rent the rest of the kit.

How did you like the night dive? I did it a few years ago and it was really cool. Of course, we saw some really cool stuff like an octopus and such, and I had left the camera behind... Sad

Don Foster's will let you take rented gear off-site. No doubt others will as well.

We used to rent gear at Divers Supply for the day to be used anywhere, not sure if they do anymore. I'm hoping they do as that is where I'm heading...

Be aware many dive locations will not let you use their entry point if you do not rent the tanks from them.

Hey Alex,

Is that a new avatar with the PADI tub divers specialty course? I love it, and I even got certified by Put Another Dollar In.

2 or 3 yrs. ago we tried to rent tanks from Don Foster's, for shore diving, they would NOT let us take their tanks off-site! Have they changed their policies??

Divetech rents dive gear that can be taken offsite. They also have a special equipment dive package where you pay for 5 days and get the 6th and 7th day free. Off-site tank rental at Divetech are generally not allowed to insure that these tanks are not used on another dive operators shore diving site. Business to business courtesy.
