Dive Shop web sites

[Mark_J]

Tell us which Dive Shop you think has the best overall web site (looks and functionality) and let us know why you think it's the best. Let's not include strictly eCommerce sites like ScubaMart but actual Dive shops that have physical shop locations open to the public. The Dive Shops can be located anywhere in the world!

Personally, I think the website isn't anywhere near as important as the shop itself- the teaching and selling practices. A great dive shop will have great instruction and great advice (for best gear vs. most profit). I my dive shop but the website leaves a lot to be desired- the Contact Us feature is nice but I usually just email the Dive Guy direct.

I agree that the shop is more important than the web site may be. With so much competition out there a good web site can certainly help a Dive Shop increase their market share.

You are right about that! Especially with so many cruddy LDS out there! Many folks are turning to online purchases!
