6. How large are the groups?

7. Can I rent diving equipment?

Yes.

You can rent high-quality diving equipment from us—from complete sets to individual pieces of equipment.

We maintain a deliberately small, well-maintained inventory. If something is not available, we turn to reliable partners.

However, as we are not a large rental station, we cannot guarantee that the exact size or configuration you require will always be available.

If something is not available, we will resort to our reliable partner network back.
Thanks to our cooperation with regional diving partners, we can usually find a suitable solution.

Our focus is on:

  • Quality over quantity
  • personal consultation
  • safe, well-maintained equipment
  • customized solutions instead of standard processing

If you need equipment, please let us know in advance and we will take care of it.

We pay particular attention to:
