Any must see shops between LAX and Ventura?

[ArizSig]

I'm going to be in the Los Angeles area Saturday 2/21/04 for business. Unfortunately there won't be time for diving, but I can squeeze some time in for any "must go" shops located between LAX and Ventura. Any suggestions?

If you mean scuba shops, I suggest Reef Seekers Dive Shop in Beverly Hills. Ask for the owner, Ken Kurtis NAUI#5936. He knows more about scuba than almost anyone else that I know, although he is still in the old school of pre-EANx diving, where he disagrees with that Voodoo gas!

Are you looking for anything in particular?

If you just need to see a really well stocked store there is Pacific Wilderness in San Pedro, or SSA in Woodland Hills (just a short excursion from the Freeway on the way out to Ventura).

Dive and Surf in Redondo Beach is a huge store, and they're having an annual parking lot sale unti 2/29 (I think). It's probably pretty picked over by now, but if you find anything you want, it will typically be about 10-20% off list price.

Thanks for recommendations. I'm just looking for a well stocked, friendly shop to kill some time in. It will be nice to see what a "real" dive shop should look like. Most shops here in land-locked Arizona are small and not well stocked.

Hollywoodivers certainly maintains a large inventory.
