And Now, Doc Octo!!

COJO “Rent To Own” Program

The COJO “Rent to Own” Program is born from the need for divers to get into their own gear sooner. You’ve already decided the diving sport is awesome and you want to go diving as much as you can! But spending money on rental gear doesn’t allow you to save up to buy your own gear. This program supports your dive habit AND gets you into your own gear sooner!

How It Works

You set up an appointment for a gear consultation, and we put

together your perfect gear package.

We provide you a quote.

You pay at least 30% deposit towards your personal “Rent To Own”

gear package.

Every time you rent items from our awesome rental fleet that are in the

same category as your “Rent To Own” package, 100% of those rental

fees go towards your gear package!

Once you have at least 60% down towards your personal “Rent to

Own” package, we’ll order in your shiny new gear for your personal

rental use until your package is fully paid!

More detail is available on our website here.

Contact Us to setup your appointment!

Just kidding!! He took the month off!!
