Would you buy a dive computer online?
I think it's a little risky. If the thing doesn't work when you first take it out of the box, you can send it back because most online dive stores will accept faulty merchandise under their return policy, right?
If there's a minor malfunction, would a local dealer fix the problem? If local dealers can't/won't help, do online dive shops do servicing on computers?
In the worst case scenario, you buy online and 3 months down the road the thing goes kaput. Are you screwed because you don't have a manufacturer's warranty (because you bought online)?
Thanks for any input!
