Being forced to buy gear from the LDS that is doing the class is a business decision on the LDS part but a poor one at that. I would go elsewhere for better customer service.
Our LDS certainly encourages gear purchase BUT will give a new student a discount on the mask fins, snorkel and boots (as well as other gear). We have been also accomodating to students to lend or "rent" the basic gear. BC and regs are always part of class fees for both pool and OW.
The LDS profit center is NOT in classes but rather in gear sales.
