Hi Landon,
I was turned onto Deep 6 by referral when I discovered the roadblocks the industry has created for individuals like myself with technical and mechanical aptitude, to learn and be self-reliant when it comes to all the aforementioned reasons on the website pertaining to servicing one's own gear. I'm finally pursuing a lifelong desire to dive but what I found was the same BS I have to deal with as a wholly independent unauthorized non-certified open source computer tech shop owner when it comes to buying parts from the computer manufacturers (Apple is the worst). I'll reach out to you independently for further discussion about the right to repair movement and at some point attending a service clinic with you/Deep6.
Meanwhile I was on your site just now and I see that this thread is fresh so while I was visiting your site I noticed that the js isn't loading right when navigating pages. I was surfing, and questioning my instructor's statements he made in our class when it comes to new vs used gear, and got a healthy dose of fear mongering ie: "a regulator hose alone can cost 100 or more dollars..blah blah ..you'll die" And this discussion here explains to me how hard you've been working on fixing it and why on the site when I was drilling into the products to see actually the truth is not all hoses cost that much, but why they do at the LDS. Anyway, I have over a decade of experience as a *nix systems programmer working on the LAMP stack and I think what ya'll are doing over there with the business model is really a good solution for guys who aren't scared to take anything apart, like me. If I can be of any assistance, or just a cheerleader, I'm available to share whatever webdev knowledge I've accumulated.
Users reporting errors is helpful so I wanted to report the following. It looks like the database is asking for an upgrade.
At
