All their dive guides (dm) are certified in First Aid and in the Emergency First Response program. Oxygen on all boats. Plus they're better looking than the others!
As far as other things to consider you first have to know what you want out of a dive shop.
Do you want variety?
Full length boat parkas?
Average dive times; i.e., 80 cf tanks or long dive times; i.e. 100 or 120 cy.
A Shop that rinces and keeps your gear and it's set and ready on the boat the next morning.
Access to all west side dive sites without an upcharge.
Tank fills to tank specs. Has own fill station for air and nitrox.
Twin engine boats. Pulled back to the marina by a rope is embarrasing.
Equipment service and repair services at dive shop. Regs and etc.
Office Open 7am to 8pm.
Caters to all skill levels facilitated by multiple boats for easy pairings.
Offers east side diving. Higher cost.
Has their own villa?
Has quality rental gear. Names you've heard of.
First decide what you want from the dive shop. After that it's pretty easy to choose.
