Dacor Website?

[under3483]

Hey Phil:
Where is that Dacor site update? Are you going to change "Coming Soon in 2005" to "Coming Soon in 2007?" Better yet make it "Coming Soon in 2020." Or tell the truth "Never Coming Again." Dacor is dead. You people killed it. There is nothing left to do but dig a hole and bury what little is left.

There will be an update to the Dacor site, but we are redesigning the Mares site first. It is scheduled to launch by end of Dec. and the Dacor site will follow.

Hey Phil:
Is this the new website? http://www.divedacor.com/ Not just a website, it's an interactive website!

I've been doing research online for my new and first BC. I have a list of BCs that I was going to try on and Dacor Hemisohere and Elite are on that list. So I went to their website to find it down for days now. So I called the 800 number and the customer service rep said they were told mid-September for the new Dacor site.

I wasn't aware of all the non-support issues and only new Dacor because my husband who has been certified since 1978 spoke highly of them. But he's been out of the dive scene for over 10 years.

Now I'm unsure if I should invest my money on them. I saw the Hemisphere advertised in the current issue of Scuba Diving magazine. Does this mean that they support this model? Hard to get answers without a website. I haven't gone to my LDS yet. They sell Mares and the customer service person said they would be my Dacor shop. But her first answer was "There's no shop in Anchorage".

Advice???

Like many on this site DACOR was a great leader in product development and support to them. I ran in to some problems with DACOR and warranty a few years ago and I was very unfortunate, I had a BC that was about 6 months old and they did not warrenty the product. believe they have product that is still good however there are newer manufactures that make a comparable products that probably offer better customer support. If you are looking for a manufacture that has a long history and one of the best reputations consider scuba pro. I can still get parts for a regulator that is 30 ++ years old. Their products have been tried, tested and true. Dive equipment is always evolving so look what is around and shop wisely.

under,

I have been on these boards since April 2005 and for the most part have enganged in good constructive exchanges with most members.

I see you are a new member who has made 5 posts: two regarding scubapro on the internet and 1 (3 times) regarding Dacor on the web. You have made a definitive statement "Dacor is Dead", "There is nothing left to do...." insinuated that I am a liar "or tell the truth" and are completely misinformed regarding the history of Dacor "you people killed it". Which shows you have not even read this entire board.

As a new member why is you entire focus or reason for posting simply about the Dacor web site? Are you in this industry? Do you have another agenda?

Now that I have clarified my postion, unless you have something worthwhile to discuss or are capable of discussing an issue in a respectful manner, I see no reason to respond to your posts.

Now you have my reply "Hey Phil, Hey Phil: Where is your reply???"

Phil,
When is it going to get updated anyway? What will Dacor's positioning be on the relaunch (if it will be relaunched)?
I just sold my last set of Dacor reg because of the uncertainty of the brands future. I have students asking me if they should get a Dacor because its being sold at scuba stores here for ridiculously cheap prices and because I have no idea where the brand is headed I just tell them to consider other brands first because I have do not know about the brand anymore.

Jai,

I cannot give you an exact date (if I do some will nail my feet to it) we will launch a new Mares site by end of Feb., and Dacor & Sporasub will follow. Mares was supposed to be ready mid Jan., but I am not a web developer and for various reasons it is delayed.

Dacor is not going away, there is no big marketing campaign planned as of now and no big product introductions planned, but we will continue to sell some exisitng items and there are some very good values on these products. In the future we will relaunch the brand, but it will not happen in 2006.

Regards,

Phil

Phil,
Thank you for the reply. In that case I shall just advice students to buy with caution considering that Scubaworld Philippines has already dropped it from its shelf space. I have noticed though that they have started to push Mares equipment with new merchandising materials in the stores.
thanks again
