Is Scubapro what it used to be?

[Thalassamania]

Scubapro is still the best. They have a full line of regs., B.C.'s and gear.

They continue to introduce new and exciting products, but still sell & support 40 year old classics.

For example, the new nova's and the Jet fins; the new MK17/A700 and the MK2 plus/G250V.

They still support regs that are decades old.

IMHO, Scubapro's customer service is # 1.

Next year, I will have 40 years diving their gear.

I just did 26 hours on the new X-Tek backplate in Cozumel.
However, I still love my classic!

Looking at your website explains why you hold those opinions. Do you sell anything but ScubaPro?

Then I can only assume that you've never done both.

You know what they say about assumptions, right?

You mean:

To compare the skill and experience needed to service and properly tune a reg set to fixing a toilet is pretty ridiculous in my opinion.

I do understand why you say that - it is your job.

And I do agree. There are probably not many reg techs that could make a living as a plumber.

My LDS is still honoring the FPFL (I guess they took the figure something out on your own that SP threw at them seriously) on new regs if you bring them in yearly. I honestly don't mind getting them checked out and serviced by a professional once a year.

Just my two cents :homealone:

It may just be a better mouse trap, but my Atomic ST1 is far superior from a quality manufacturing/engineering standpoint to it's SP MK25 rival. You really cannot keep them in the same room. The SP MK25 will scamper into the closet. A BMW vs. a Fiat, which by the way stands for - fix it again Tony.

Yes, it is materially more expensive...

Thank You for visiting
Beaver Divers.com.

We do primarily sell SCUBAPRO.

We sell SCUBAPRO as a matter of choice.

Beaver Divers sells SCUBAPRO because of my personal experience ( 40 yrs. ) and belief in their products.

If we choose, we can sell any brand. Any manufacture would love to have our business.

We are in a unique position, located at about 8,000'; Beaver Divers is the only dive shop in about 100 mile radius.

We have carried almost all SCUBA brands in the last 25 years.

Yes, we have 100 or more products that are not SCUBAPRO.

Now, Beaver Divers is able to ship SCUBAPRO nation-wide.

I'm am excited because now I can share my Love of their products at the best price.

We are shipping SCUBAPRO to Florida, Texas and Cali.

Who would have thought that a dive store located in the mountains would be providing the best SCUBA gear to divers that live by the Ocean?

Did you notice our by-line?

Dont get drunk and pass out on the cool-aid.... Who can afford or even justify the price on the X-Tek line but a dealer? Dive Rite, Hollis and Hog are just as good or better and HALF the price. Thanks just I'll just keep the other half and spend it in Cozmel or the Caymans. IMHO the X-Tek line is "faux tech" gear. It looks tech but isnt. The only ppl I have seen diving X-Tek are instructors how like plates but the LDS makes the instructors use gear the LDS sells. Then they all have other brands at home they use anytime not instructing for that LDS. Dont get me wrong SP still makes some good regulators but the only thing new and exciting are the marketing books and fliers(except the A700). But even the A700 isnt "new". Brass chrome plated 2nd stage. Hmmmm I have seen these before...

Who would buy a R109/R156-Balanced Adjustable new if SP started to reproduce they "unmolested" and "improved"? I sure would. But that wouldnt be exciting or new enough for SP.

Later Mon,
Nick

I have passed by your store a hundred times on the north side of I-70 between Beaver Creek and Vail. Great T-shirts as well. Good luck!

Not other brands of Regulators and keep that Platinum/exclusive Scubapro status!
