WOW!!! I have been busy shopping this week. I would like to thank all ScubaBoard members who have given me so many tips and advice... With all the different brands of scuba gear and all thinking they were the best....It was hard to choose..
Special thanks to Gene at AquaticAdventures.net This guy knows his stuff....
One thing I discover through all this is: What price is service worth to you as a buyer?
Yes, you might find a better price online store but is your item or items warranty after the sale by the Manufacturer? You be shock to learn that unless is bought from a Dive shop that is authorized by the Manufacturer. It won't be....
So how are we to save money as Divers..? Simple, If you are a first time buyer and you know what you want... Buy it all at once and you be amazed with the little room your LDS has to negociate, how it will add up to big savings.
If you only need a couple of things. Talk to friend divers. See what they need and buy as one.
After searching through the internet and getting price from online stores. I was happy to realize that I saved $107.00 from my LDS...
Now I have a place to service my items without fear of not having a warranty... Work with your LDS and they will work with you....In the process you might make a friend.....
Best Regards to all Rey
