Thanks for renting gear from us! We hope you have a great time diving. There are several things to bear in mind to insure the best experience: 

** Bring your certification card - without this we cannot rent gear to you!! ** 

Check Gear out as you receive it 

• You are ultimately responsible for keeping track of your gear, ensuring you have everything you need and that you know how to use it correctly.
• Be sure that you have both pieces of a two-piece wetsuit.
• Be sure that your rental BC has a whistle and octopus holder.
• Be sure that your gauges and compass are present and not cracked.
• Be sure that the regulators connect to the power inflator and it operates correctly.
• Be sure the regulators are not free-flowing.
• Be sure tanks are full to their working pressure.
• Our staff can answer any questions you have about any of these steps.

Tips for using our gear

• Locate the power inflator manual and dump valves on your BC.
• Know where adjustment and release straps are on your Be.
• Know how to dump your weights in an emergency.
• Know how to attach regulators to a tank and how to purge them.
• Keep regulators out of sand and silt to ensure their protection. ** (cleaning fee applies if returned full of sand)
• Do not store weights in bags with gauges and other fragile items. ** (replacement fee applies if gear is returned broken)

Return the gear clean

• Wetsuits, hoods, mitts and boots should be rinsed with clean water inside and out
• Regulators should be rinsed at a minimum and soaked when possible.
• Be sure to have the dust cap on the first stage and NOT to purge regulators while soaking. ** (cleaning fee applies if returned without dust cap in place)
• The outside of BCs should be rinsed with clean water.
• The BCs should be drained then rinsed with clean water by holding the manual inflator button with the hose at the mouthpiece. If the water has any salty taste when draining, further rinsing is needed.
• There is a hose available at the front door of the shop.
• A cleaning fee of $20 may be assessed for unclean returns.
• You may be billed for inspection and cleaning of tanks returned under 200 PSI. 

Have gear back on time

• Gear rented Monday through Friday is due back before 5pm the next day. 
• Saturday evening one-day rentals are due back before 12pm Monday. 

Have a fun safe experience!

• Don't hesitate to ask us any questions you may have.
• Inform us of any equipment problems so we can be sure to correct them before the gear is rented again
•  Save your receipt, call ahead, and we can have your next rental ready for you when you arrive to pick it up.

United Divers is a fully equipped full service repair facility where our trained technicians perform equipment maintenance, repair, and assembly every day. All equipment is fully assembled and tested before you receive it. 

All of our technicians must attend regular product update seminars to stay current on all improvements and modifications of technical scuba equipment. This level of dedication not only guarantees quality workmanship, but also gives you the peace of mind to know that your equipment will work when you need it most -- underwater!

We also provide custom tailoring and restorations in-house, full service inspections, quality gear rental, and a variety of tank fill options to meets your diving needs.

United Divers' Rent-to-Own Program allows the dollars that you pay for renting scuba equipment to be applied to future equipment purchases. 

It works like this: each piece of equipment has a daily rate of rental, for instance, a regulator is $16 dollars per day. You can apply up to 5 days' rental charges, in this case, $80, to future purchase of any new brand or model of regulator.

This program applies to equipment rented for either local or vacation use. This changes SCUBA equipment rental from an irreclaimable expense to a purchase plan!

Prices and packages are subject to change without notice. Rent to own only applies to tanks, regulators, BC's, gauges, and wetsuits ( boots, mitts, hood, and weights rentals are not eligible for the rent to own program). Please contact us today for updated pricing.

**You must provide proof of certification for all rentals**

United Divers has the capacity to fill up to 10 cylinders at one time with air, including 2 fill whips dedicated to DIN tanks and 2 fill whips for SCBA tanks.

United Divers provides the option of clean-air fills for Nitrox ready tanks.  We specialize in filling all brands of oxygen and nitrox tanks with our custom air banks. Please call ahead for availability and pricing details.

We currently offer the convenience of customer air-fill cards, a way to prepay for tank fills that saves money and time.  Ask a retail staff member for program details and pricing.

United Divers knows that the pre-dive inspection and check of all dive components is extremely important. Before every dive, this life-support equipment should be completely checked for any damage or wear. Even normal wear and aging will eventually result in the need to replace parts.

That's why we offer a comprehensive Dive Gear Inspection Service. This allows a certified Dive Equipment Technician to inspect your dive components for any abnormal conditions that would require repair, removal or replacement. Our technicians will make sure that all your dive gear mechanical components function smoothly.

Additionally, we are a DOT Licensed Hydrotest Facility that is certified to hydrotest dive tanks in-house.

We take diving seriously and you can never be too careful about safety. Cracks or heavy wear could even result in the catastrophic failure of the part when you need it most -- to protect your life! That's why we recommend that if any of your dive parts don't look right to you, don't use them. Instead, bring them in to us. We promise the most thorough inspection on the East Coast and a quick turn-around to get you diving safely again quickly.
