What Our Customers Say

Real feedback from divers who rented scuba equipment from Helavu

Sophie Turner
Edinburgh
Good quality equipment at reasonable rates. The booking process was straightforward, and I appreciated the detailed equipment checklist they sent before collection. Only minor issue was that collection took about 20 minutes longer than expected due to paperwork, but the staff were apologetic and thorough in explaining how everything worked.

Saved me £400 compared to buying new gear for a single trip. Will definitely rent again.

The equipment met my needs for basic recreational diving. Regulator breathed smoothly, and the pressure gauge was accurate. However, the fins were quite worn on the edges, and I would have preferred more modern gear. Price was fair at £45 per day for the full set. Customer service responded to my questions within a few hours, which was helpful. Overall decent experience, though there's room for improvement in equipment condition.

As an instructor, I needed reliable backup equipment for my students. Rented four complete sets for a certification course. Every piece worked exactly as it should - no malfunctions, no surprises. The staff understood my requirements immediately and suggested appropriate gear for beginners. They even included equipment bags at no extra charge. Professional service that understands the diving community.

Solid equipment that did the job. The wetsuit sizing chart on their website was accurate, which saved time during collection. Would rent again, though it would be nice to have more colour options for the gear.

Daniel Cooper

I'm impressed by how they handle equipment maintenance. Each item came with a service record showing the last inspection date and any parts replaced. The regulator I rented had new hoses fitted just two weeks prior. This level of transparency is rare in rental services. Communication was excellent too - they called me the day before to confirm everything and offered tips for local diving spots.

The gear worked fine during my dives, no technical issues. Prices are competitive - I paid £38 per day for regulator, BCD, and wetsuit. Staff were friendly enough, though I had to wait 15 minutes past my scheduled pickup time. The equipment itself is functional but shows signs of regular use. For occasional diving, it serves its purpose. I'd recommend for budget-conscious divers who prioritise function over having the latest models.

Perfect solution for my situation - needed gear for three days while my own equipment was being serviced. Everything fit properly and worked without issues. Quick and hassle-free process.
