Your early-access window
This is one of the clearer, tangible perks of membership: first pick of clearance gear before the general public sees it.
Anyone due for a wetsuit, BCD, or reg upgrade
If you’ve been putting off replacing gear, this is the night to check what’s marked down before it’s picked over.
Anyone who wants a low-key evening with the club
No wetsuit required for this one. It’s as much a social evening as a shopping event.
A Relaxed Evening at the Shop.
Doors open at 6:30 PM at Tom’s Burnet Rd location. Expect a casual, browse-at-your-own-pace evening: clearance gear laid out ahead of the public sale, members catching up, and Tom’s staff on hand to answer questions about sizing, fit, or which piece of gear actually makes sense for you. The public sale typically opens shortly after, so this is genuinely a first-look window, not just a marketing name.
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, before anyone else sees it
Early access means better selection on the gear you actually want.
Free, casual, no gear required
An easy 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.
