Club Owned Equipment

Clydebank Sub Aqua Club is fortunate to own a great deal of equipment. We have a Compressor to fill Club and members cylinders. There are several complete sets of gear including Demand Regulators, Buoyancy Devices, Cylinders & weight belts. There is a range of Dry-suits in various sizes, all for the use of Trainees and others members who haven’t quite acquired all their own gear yet.There is a small fee for the hire of this equipment for use in the sea or open water.

We also have a seperate Lecture Room where the Diving Officer and other Instructors give lectures and demonstrations with the aid of an overhead Projector. The room is also used for the occasional “Curry Night/Photo Night."

The equipment, and our Equipment Premises, also in Clydebank, are well maintained by Joe McInally and Gordon Downie. They’ve been doing the job for years and are getting quite good at it!!

Compressor Operations

Filling Diving Cylinders is a time consuming, tedious, noisy but extremely important job. Without it, we don’t dive!

Gordon and Joe make sure that cylinders are filled carefully and correctly with clean, contaminant free air. They "chew the fat" and generally put the world to rights whilst the cylinders are filling.

            Air at Clydebank Branch is FREE!!

                     (It only costs £2.00 to put it in the cylinder!)
