Summer Clearance Pre-Sale & Social
Friday, September 18 is members only. Saturday, September 19 is open to the public. Bring proof of membership if you’re coming Friday.
An Aquanauts Membership Perk, Not a Dive.
Your Friday-evening early-access window
This is one of the clearer, tangible perks of membership: early access to clearance gear Friday evening, a full day before it opens to the general public on Saturday.
Anyone due for a wetsuit, BCD, or reg upgrade
If you’ve been putting off replacing gear, Aquanauts members get first pick Friday evening; everyone else can shop Saturday before the best sizes are picked over.
Anyone who wants a low-key evening with the club
No wetsuit required for Friday evening’s members-only preview. It’s as much a social evening as a shopping event.
A Two-Day Clearance Weekend.
Aquanauts members get first access Friday evening; the sale opens to everyone on Saturday.
Early Access Preview, 6:30 to 8:00 PM
Doors open at Tom’s Burnet Rd location for a casual, browse-at-your-own-pace evening. Clearance gear is laid out ahead of the public sale, members catch up with each other, and Tom’s staff are on hand to help with sizing and fit. Proof of membership is required at the door.
Public Sale, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
The same sale opens to the general public, no membership required. Same discounts as Friday, first come first served on the best sizes and quantities.
Membership Perks Like This Are Part of the Point.
Not every Aquanauts benefit is about diving. Some, like this one, are just good, tangible reasons to join a community you’re probably already diving alongside.
20 to 50% off, a full day before the public
Early Friday-evening access means better selection on the gear you actually want, before Saturday’s public crowd thins it out.
Free, casual, no gear required
An easy Friday evening to attend even if diving isn’t on your calendar that week.
A chance to catch up with the club
One of the few Aquanauts events that happens entirely on dry land.
Since 1982
Tom’s has been outfitting Austin divers for decades; the clearance sale is the same trusted gear at a lower price.
