The club is lucky to have the BOA Shop manager as a member, so get in contact and he will be happy to help you find the right equpiment. 

FINS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be cautious when buying fins! Most look great but very few are able to cope
with the demands of UWH. The most popular by far is the Mares Avanti Quattro
Power but the smaller players might find them a bit heavy!

MASKS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Look for a low volume mask, fitted with twin safety lenses.

SNORKELS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most will do but large bore tubes with drain or purge valves are more
popular. Don't be afraid to shorten the tube and most prefer to attach to
the cap rather than the mask strap.

GLOVES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A garden glove is fine to start with but you will soon need more protection!
Some will basically tape up a garden glove or custom make one with latex or
silicone others buy purpose made ones.

Bentfish - Aegis (the most readily available at the moment!)
http://www.gbuwhshop.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1052 £20

Latex home made (drop us an email for instructions!)


CAPS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mostly used for identification but also offers some protection for your
ears!
