Dive shops in Singapore

[touf]

Hi I heard that diving equipment can be found cheaper in Singapore. Is this correct?
I am flying through Singapore and i am staying for 24hrs and looking fwd to do some shopping.
Any store recommendations?

For Singapore there are two major spots to try:

In Lucky Plaza in Orchard Road, there are two dive spots in the basement for you to compare prices. These places tend to be more expensive.

At the Concourse on Beach Road, there are three dive shops, Waikiki, Richmond and Oceanic on the ground floor of which Richmond seems to be a better deal.

There are also dive shops all over Singapore that also sell equipment. Happy shopping!

Thank you for the advice.

I have been to the stores at Lucky Plaza. I find the prices on the Internet from organizations such as Leisure Pro to be much less. Then again, perhaps my negotiating skills are not up to snuff.

If you know what you want, then check out the prices on these websites (or enquire) for comparison:

I bought a hydrooptix double-dome mask in Concourse shopping center (Oceanic store) for only about 77US$. A pretty good deal.

Wha'cha looking for? I'm in Singapore, will be happy to help price stuff. But Lucky Plaza and Concourse are definite places to visit.

Even better if you know good instructors that they get hefty discounts.

They must suck. I find just the opposite by normally about 30%.
