While perusing the web for divegear (what else??) I noticed that Divesource has a list of their clearance items for this coming Saturday's blowout sale (Nov 1st). Some pretty good deals by the looks of things.

What a great time to pick up some good stuff at reduced prices. I hear other shops will be doing the same over the next several weeks but I couldn't find any specific dates on the webpages I visited.

Just an FYI

Better neck seals I hope
 
Looks like the month of November will be a busy one for divers and diveshops...

:)
 
I dropped into Dive Source today to do a little scouting and they said they were also selling off some their rental gear as well on Saturday.

They said prices would vary depending on the set but they have quite a few BC and regs sets that they were selling for $550 and they are giving a year warrenty as well. ( sounds good to me :D)

Their rental Regs are mostly all blizzards and the BCD's were mostly Sherwood Magnums which I have used before and liked.

It's nice to see a shop using better stuff in rental than the cheapest stuff available , I remember one set of gear I rented elsewhere that was bottom of the line and though it worked the Blizzard was much nicer.

I'll be there Saturday for sure

( PS - I agree they are very nice fella's to deal with !)

Dive Source website- map etc.
 
as you have no affiliation with the shop...

The S2K web site is updated every week but the changes are minor. The updated date is posted on the home page. It doesn't need to have a major overhaul very often.

It's very time consuming and expensive to update a full web site therefore the information is pretty generic. Usually the details on the site don't change too often (course prices, rental/service rates/location/etc).
The role of the site is to give an overview of the business operation and to encourage you to visit or contact it.

Scuba 2000 does have a weekly newletter that is currently running at about 15 full pages. It is completely new each week and has the latest information about all operations plus other scuba news. The newsletter is emailed to over 3500 subscribers every Wednesday. It's easy and cheap to produce and mail and very current (weekly).
We've found that is by far the most efficient way to keep the divers up-to-date.
Coupled with The Diving Board (a local but very busy scuba chat line), there's no lack of contact between the divers and S2K.

BTW we are getting on average about 850,000 hits per month (that's just under a million hits every month).
We also get compliments daily about our website from the people who call the shop after visiting the site. It obviously works.
