The Flat Rate

To reduce costs where someone makes heavy use of the club kit, we offer an annual kit flat rate. The flat rate is aligned with the academic year (beginning 1st October).

The current annual charge is £125. All daily charges are waived, except for dry suits, for which a reduced daily rate applies, as seen in the table of daily charges above.

For The Pool

We don’t charge kit hire for the pool, but we will apply a discretionary charge of £2 per pool visit, to cover gas costs for pool usage. This is on top of any charges made by OxBSAC for usage of their pool slot at Radley (if applicable).

OUUEG Boat Rates

We currently charge the following for usage of our club RHIB, Seahorse.

Daily rate

We charge a daily rate of £25, excluding fuel for usage of Seahorse. This includes trips where no diving is done (e.g. boat handling days). Exceptions are made for dedicated boat handlers on diving trips and instructors on boat handling courses, for whom the charge is waived.

Flat rate

We also offer an annual boat flat rate, aligned with the academic year (beginning 1st October). The current annual rate is £125, excluding fuel.

Fuel Policy

Daily fuel costs are split equally between all members benefiting from boat usage on a given day. These may be all divers (not boat handlers) on a dive trip, or all participants of a boat handling excursion. Please note that costs may be redistributed from instructors to trainees where training occurs.

Seahorse should always be fully refuelled at the end of the trip, and where possible, a spare jerry can full of fuel should be left aboard. If the tank is less than 75% full at the end of the trip, the next trip may make use of the most convenient (and potentially more expensive) refuelling option (usually the fuel pontoon), and bill the costs to the trip that failed to refuel Seahorse appropriately.
