Do NOT do any business with EZ SCUBA in Tampa

OK, one last time. Eric was aware that I am a new diver. Also I informed him of how much weight I had use in the past the equipment and where I have dived, told him I was going to use a dive skin only, not a wet suit. With the information I gave me he concluded that I would need a total of 30lb to do the dive on the 18th to Spanish Rocks. At the dive, I had two dive buddies. One of them notice the free flowing, he tried to correct and was unable to. The other buddy is a VERY experience instructor, was also unable to stop the free flow so she shut it off and I used the octo. I started the dive with 3100 psi. By the time the instructor worked on the reg and I got to the bottom of 15 feet I had only 2000psi left. Needless to say I was disappointed that I had to cut my dive short and so did my buddies. I did not want to impose them on the second schedule dive because of my troubles so I stood out on the second dive. When I brought the equipment back to the shop I explained to the employ the problems I had. He told me that it was MY responsibility to check the equipment before taking it. I agreed with him, but not having to check the equipment before myself, I did not recall that. My other dives were in my ow and disney where everything was prepared for me in advance.(that was a disadvantige). Again I was disappointed about what happened but not furious. I spoke to Eric twice today and told him exactly what I am posting here. He said that he would help me with anything that I need. PLEASE let this be the end of this topic. Lets plan more dives and have lots of fun. It is a lesson that I needed to learn. And sometimes I learn the hard way. See you all on the 24 m&g

So you are happy with the outcome, that was the point of this thread right, to make sure msscuba was taken care of?

Sure thing. Though it is SB's "policy" if you will, to let another party know if their business is being discussed in a negative light so that that business has the fair opportunity of replying, should they so desire.

Thank you for taking the time to come on.

Time for this thread to be closed.

EZ has come clean, and msscuba is fine with everything. Like msscuba said lets move on.

Keep it up, and you all will be on Springer with your wife, who is really your sister, and your brother.

I'm thinking that this might have been misstated. Did you dive with "just" the octo? If one of your buddies was a VERY experienced instructor and did not discourage you from diving with just an octo, then I would choose a different buddy. Especially as a newer diver, I would never think it a good idea to have only one air source.
