snorkel rentals at Rum Point?

[Birdnutty]

After much research, I still can't find specific info on snorkel rentals. We want to go to Rum point for the day. We've rented a car, and have figured that part out. One of the things we're most interested in doing is snorkeling, but some of our group needs to travel light and can't bring fins. Others have nothing at all in the lines of snorkel stuff and would like to rent it.

 

I've seen some brief references to rentals at Red Sail Sports in Rum point, but nothing specific.

Does anyone know 1) how much rental sets cost? 2) can parts, like fins, be rented alone? If so, how much?

 

Thanks so much for your help.

By googling Red Sail's website...

and downloading the brochure on their watersports activities page...

You can see that a mask/fins/snorkel set is $15US per day, and a snorkel vest is $6US per day.

 

Not sure if they'd rent pieces separately, but the phone number is listed so you could always call and ask.

IIRC a complete snorkel set - fins, mask and snorkel - runs $15 CI/$18.75 to rent for the day. Not positive, but would imagine they'd rent separate items at a reduced cost.

Red Sail definitely rents snorkeling gear as separate pieces. Mask & snorkel together as a unit. Or fins as a separate item. Last I knew it was US$7.50 for either of those. US$15 for both. Red Sail prices in US dollars.

Thanks BB and DS. I have never rented equipment from RedSail, but remembered seeing the prices and assumed they were in CI$ like the food & beverages.

That's exactly what I needed to know.

 

After I return, I'll post back with particulars as to what I found there.

 

Thanks so much for the replies.
