Welcome to ScubaBoard.
There are a number of online providers of scuba gear. Some are small dive shops with an internet presence, others are heavily internet based.
Personally, there are a few items I will only buy from a local dive shop and other things I am willing to buy online. In the category of local dive shop: masks, computers and anything directly related to my immediate survival or need to be fitted. In the category of internet: dive flags, dive lights and fun t-shirts.
Having said that, the internet type things are things I would recommend holding off on until you know what you need/want. Well, get the t-shirts now.
tridacna, is that flameproof underwear or a flameproof wetsuit?

My 2 favorites are
Scubatoys and Leisurepro
You will find some who hate them, especially Leisurepro, but I have purchased and have had excellent experiences with both, especially Scubatoys.
Be careful w/ anything that needs fitting like a wet suit - its just a pain to send it back if it does not fit.
But the savings can be substancial - I just ordered a DAN Safety sausage; it was $80 at my LDS, and under $40 (w/shipping) from Scubatoys.

Scubatoys has treated me well, and I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Leisurepro has unbelievable prices, especially if you find what you're looking for in their sale/closeout/used section. Their used section is mostly open box items which in most cases are indistinguishable from new.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from life support all the way to accessories from them. They pay for return shipping if something doesn't fit which is a awesome when buying wetsuits or bc's.

Another vote for Leisure Pro. They ship fast and are very responsive. I haven't personally used Scuba Toys, but have heard that they are very good too.
