Friendly service, great selection of dive gear. Very accomodating - got us out of a pickle with a hire wetsuit. Thank you!

Great hiring of wetsuits for Ewen Ponds, knowledgeable and great quality / easy process. Recommended!

John is just awesome great info fab guy to talk to and the best place to get all your diving gear from. Thanks John

Great service and info at the dive hire shop at the back of the General Store. Thanks John. Easy process to get fitted out in all of the dive gear. Very reasonable price to hire everything. All items hired we're in quality condition. Easy pickup and drop off process. We snorkelled Ewan Ponds. I've never snorkelled before, but found it most enjoyable, so can recommend you have a go! (We all had a good laugh getting into and out of the gear!!) 🤣

Hired snorkelling gear for Ewens Ponds, and felt really well looked after. John took the time to make sure the whole family had gear that fitted and kept us comfortable in the cool water.

I hired an excellent quality wetsuit, hood and boots from the lovely man here (had my own gloves and snorkel) and can't recommend it enough. The wetsuit was so comfy (accommodating my 5 month pregnant body easily!) and kept me warm! Really reasonable price too and everything is in great condition. Snorkelled Ewan Ponds and Piccaninnie Ponds today. Get kitted out here before you go!

What a wonderful public service John provides through his General Store and Dive Shop. We hired wet suits and snorkeling equipment for the family to snorkel Ewen Ponds (an amazing experience). John was amazingly efficient at getting us all fitted out and on our way.

Ice cream galore and glorious. Badenochs Deli. Badenochs deli ! Allendale East General Store. Remember this on your way to the beach, and yes on your way home too.

Excellent wetsuit hire and amazing service. The dive shop and general store has everything you need to explore the nearby Ewen Ponds and Piccaninnie Ponds. The wetsuit kept me warm and comfortable while in the water.

Thank you for kitting us out with snorkeling gear.

Wetsuits were thick 2 pieces with boots, hood and gloves included. Kept us warm swimming in the ponds.

In short notice the gentleman was very helpful, and highly professional. It made our day snorkeling the Ewens Ponds and Picanninie Ponds so much more special and enjoyable. To top that off enjoyed the Mahalia Coffee to warm us up upom returning the equipment

Perfect place to hire wetsuit gear for snorkelling at Ewens and Piccaninie Ponds. I got the hood, boots, gloves, and flippers as well. The guy also makes some good hot chips to warm up after!

Great quality wetsuit hire, very happy with the suits and gear we hired. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, flexible with return times. Thanks for the anti-fog spray!

Very nice and friendly. Knowledgeable and willi g to take time to share.

It was the second time we hired wetsuits to go for snorkeling. The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I recommend 100% Piccaninnie ponds and Earns ponds are amazing!

Awesome experience dealing with this business. Enjoys a laugh and a bit of a stir which adds to the fun. Quality and clean hire products as well as fun, knowledgeable and friendly. We snorkled at Piccaninnie Ponds, but will return to enjoy Ewens Ponds. A1

John is extremely knowledgeable and we had a great time in wet suits capable of keeping you warm in 10'c water. Highly recommended.

Awesome bloke, knows his stuff, plenty of gear suitable for all sizes even the little ones! Good quality equipment. Great guy to talk to.

Great place to pick up snorkeling gear. Service terrific. Equipment clean, great condition.

Excellent customer service with kitting us out with wetsuits and snorkling equipment
