Hi, I'd like to rent snorkel gear for two people.
"Quisiera" (I would like) is more polite than "quiero" (I want). Great for requests.

Claro, tenemos visor, snorkel y aletas. ¿Lo quiere por hora o por el día completo?

Sure, we have a mask, snorkel, and fins. Do you want it by the hour or for the full day?

Por el día completo, por favor. ¿Necesitan una identificación?

For the full day, please. Do you need an ID?
Rental shops often hold your ID or a deposit. Bring a photocopy of your passport instead of the original.

Sí, necesito una identificación o un depósito de quinientos pesos.
