Ok I will admitt this that when I Finally decided to scuba dive, I didn't shop around...
I was driving and went by a shop that had a big air balloon in the parking lot and a sign that said 'SALE' I have had many close encounters of scuba in my life but at that moment in time had more money than wisdom, yes the cute young female worker was enough of a flirt to get my money and signed me up on the spot.
then my education began
A year later
I am known at three shops
Shop A I was trained at
Shop B, well I consider my LDS and also consider it the Best LDS and will compare any other shop I go to to it..and will be much more once the pool is built
Shop C has a pool and offers Kids diving my son loves it
I as I make my weekly rounds see different things and take note and brings me to this questions for the masses..
first, how is the best way to tell someone to shop around, as in don't make the same mistake I made, that is spend to much money..While in the store??
I tell myself it is their money they can do with it as they will but why pay more than you need to? do I have a ethics problem?
