Scuba Diving Gear Rentals in Nanaimo

Renting high-quality, well-maintained gear shouldn’t be a hassle. Whether you're joining a dive charter, exploring one of Nanaimo’s many shore sites, or completing a course, Nanaimo Dive Outfitters has everything you need for a safe and comfortable cold-water dive.

Our rental fleet is in excellent condition and regularly updated with gear from trusted brands like Zeagle, Hollis, BARE, Mobby's, and DUI, and more. If you need a single item or a full package, we’ll help you get set up and dive-ready.

If you’re thinking about buying gear, renting is also a great way to test equipment before committing. Much of our rental inventory is sold and replaced on a rotating basis, so feel free to ask in-store about available used gear.
