Can I get a disease from scuba rental equipment?

The chances of getting a disease from scuba rental equipment are very low.  In general, dive shops that rent equipment clean all rental gear thoroughly after each use.  If this is not done properly, then yes, the possibility exists that you could conceivably contract a disease.
