The equipment is provided: a 5 mm neoprene wetsuit, neoprene socks, a helmet and a harness. You bring a swimsuit, closed shoes you can get wet, a towel and dry clothes for the journey back.
Kit providedYou have nothing to buy: all the technical equipment is included in the price of the outing.
What about wetsuit size? You do not need to know it. The booking form asks for your weight, height and shoe size: they are used to prepare your equipment before the outing.
The list fits on four lines, plus a picnic if you are out for the full day.
To wear under the wetsuit.
Worn trainers, which will get soaked.
To dry off when you get out of the canyon.
For the journey back, with a pair of dry shoes.
It is not included. It must fit in the waterproof containers we provide.
Jewellery and valuables have no place in a canyon: leave them somewhere safe.
Take closed trainers you do not mind getting wet and damaged. They need to grip well, because the rock can be slippery.
An old pair of running shoes, or water shoes with a thick sole.
Sandals, flip-flops and new shoes. If you do not have suitable shoes, we can lend you some free of charge.
The neoprene socks we provide go inside them: leave a little room.
For an outing with us, there is no need to invest in canyoning shoes: your old trainers are enough.
That is all you need underneath: the 5 mm neoprene wetsuit protects you from the cold.
It is at 19 °C in summer, cooler in spring and autumn.
Women and men wear the same outfit: a swimsuit under the wetsuit.
If you have long hair, tie it back before putting on the helmet.
Contact lenses are the simplest option. If you keep your glasses on, secure them with a cord and tell your instructor at the meeting point, as with any other particular need.
