I will reserve personal comment but I will say I am disappointed.

I am not disappointed with Y-kiki at all, I have done a bit of business with y'all and have been favorably impressed. What I don't like is that Gateway had to shut down and especially the reasons why. I really liked the folk that worked there and now it seems many are out of the diving business for good.
It was a fun place to visit that fell apart in a nasty internal scandal.
But I have absolutely nothing against Y-kiki. I even plan on getting my nitrox cert there this winter.

Congrats to Y-kiki for their acquisition!

Curious, what type of internet scandal shuts down a business?
