This month we have decided to host a dive gear buy, swap and sell. So dust off all that gear that’s been sitting in the back of the cupboard and well see if we can’t find it a new home.

It’s an excellent opportunity to get rid of that third set of boots, the fifth set of fins or even that pesky tank you’ve had sitting around taking up space. And for those in need of some gear to grab a bargain.
