Has anyone ever used http://www.save-money-diving.com?
I just stumbled on it and they have some great packages.
Any feedback?

I'd be careful with that one. They're located in Thailand which means that if you have any problems, they aren't subject to US laws that protect consumers.

On the other hand, if you get good feedback from here...

Often, getting a cheap price isn't necessarily the best value.

save money diving contributes to the board (joined recently). Send him a PM if you have questions about his rates. Seems to me that he's a middle man getting promos from the ops and might be getting a cut. But he's posted in the philippine paradise island forum and his deals are cheaper than if you go directly through the operator. So I don't know what's up with that.

They're located in Thailand

So are we (Dive The World), but you will not have any problems.

However, we are a registered PADI dive center and have a licence from the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

It is indeed very odd.

I've got no problem with him since he's contributing to the board. Even if he does plug his site a little, it's up to you if you want to go through them. The ones I really dislike and I've got issues with are the complete spammers.

Have heard that some of the boat owners are not too happy about this.

don't the boat owners have a say in who promotes them over there? Or is it determine by the dive op they run out of?
