You can also try Scuba Toys while in Dallas. They do a big bunch of their business over the Internet and have much more gear in the shop then they do on their web site. They will bargain with you as well and in some cases meet or beat Leisure Pro prices. They also have a pool and provide all levels of training through NAUI.

Here is a link that has details about their location:

Just for fun, check out their real-time web cam of the shop. You can pan the camera and zoom it. If you get over their be sure to smile at the camer when you walk in. Ya never know who may be watching...

Are you looking to buy gear? Recreational or more technical? Are you looking for a quickie nitrox certification while in town or just want to browse the LDS's in the area? Depending on the answer...helps direct you to one of the many LDS's in the DFW area. Also do you know where you'll be in the DFW area? Unlike Austin it is a very geographically challenged area to get around. However we'd be happy to point you to several great LDS's close to where you'll be staying or working.

I've spent a little time shopping around Austin. There are 10,000 dive shops in this town. What, in particular are you looking for. Each shop tends to carry slightly different merchandise. If your looking for a particular brand of gear then maybe someone will remember who carries that line.

That'd be my personal favorite, having sampled the scuba shops of Houston, Dallas, and Austin during stints living in each...

What area of Austin are you interested in? And what are you looking for? Close to the lake? Gear? Classes? The LDS's stretch from one end of town to the other with probably a good 25 miles (and a ton of shops) in between. We've used Dive World, Tom's, Scubaland Adventure to name a few .............

There are plenty more, but this site has a pretty good sample and includes phone numbers.
