We are often asked by trainees, and others, to recommend equipment that should be purchased that will be suitable for their Club diving trips. The following list contains links to the manufactures of our suggestions. We do not endorse any of the claims made by the manufacturers here. We also point to the equipment that the Branch provides for their training and to the equipment that our instructors use for their own diving and while training. By all means buy what you want and don't be afraid to ask. There are as many opinions as there are Instructors; these are our recommendations based on

• Durability for Scottish dive sites
• Local service back up
• Reliability
• And value for money.
