Hey all, just dropped into Houston to do some training for the Airstation here, and I figured while I was here I should check out the local shops. Any choice places to hit? I feel a BP/W is in order.
Any good shops in Houston?

For discount pricing check out Divers Paradise in Webster. If your at the "Air Station" then you are at Ellington and only 10 min. from there. It is at Nasa rd. 1 (Nasa Pkwy) and I-10 in the same strip center as the Bally's and the Dollar Cinema. Right next to the Cinemark.
They can service about anything and have tons of equipment to rent or for purchase. They are about 20%-40% off MSRP on most stuff. Their main lines are Aeris (Oceanic), Mares/Dacor, Tusa, Tilos, H2O, and a some others.

Sport divers off nasa one and 45 has been around a long time
Try Sea Sport Scuba, they have shops in the Woodlands, Westheymer and FM 1960 near 249. They are probably one of the better shops in town.

Thanks for the information folks! The following has nothing to do with any of you guys...
I took a trip to one of the shops. Spent several hundred on a BP/W, HID light and some other crap. Unfortunately for me, they didn't have all the parts I needed for the BP/W, so I was supposed to go back today. Called a few times, as my time in Houston is somewhat limited since I'm here working. The parts I'm assumming didn't come, but at least they could have returned a phone call. The stuff I bought was packaged so I wasn't as careful as I should have been, and there are a few things missing besides what I'm waiting for. I was sold a "Halcyon" harness, knowing nothing about the product (my own fault since I didn't research) I bought it. After looking at it online today, the harness I got doesn't look anything like what it should look like, and a phone call to Halcyon confirmed it...not genuine. The wing I bought was missing the LPI hose. I'm still waiting for my STA and Cam bands. The gentleman in the shop was nice enough, spent time with me and made me a good deal, but I have that "bad feeling" creeping in. I'm hoping I didn't do something I'll regret.

Wait they sold you a halcyon harness but it is not a halcyon harness? I am confused here. Do you have the ablities to post any picture of it? Maybe it was a mistake What else are you missing besides the STA and cam bands? DRings, Buckle, Tri-glides? If you dropped serious coin which you did for a Halcyon BP/W and a Canister light and you are not happy about it I would let the shop know? If you lost the missing parts fess up and buy more but the I would diffantly take issue with bogus harness. Trust you gut on the bad feeling it has gotten you this far. I would talk to the shop manager and try to get this straigtened out quickly. How long are you in the Houston area? Hope this helps and sorry I wish I could be more help
Have you had enough of being a schmuck yet? If so, take all the crap back and if they won't refund you, file a dispute on your credit card.
