I needed to write this because of something I saw today. So lets start at the beginning.
I got a facebook invite from The Scuba Connection for DUI Demo Days up at Dutch Springs (local quarry in PA). They said if I came down and brought advanced tickets ($10.00) for the event they would give me rental gear FREE for the weekend. Yes FREE! Whatever I needed, BP&W, reg, tanks, weights whatever. So I go down there today and they are pretty busy so I take a seat and just relax till things die down.
While I am sitting there I see a gentleman at the counter (who is certified to dive, before anyone jumps to conclusions) and he has a Mares mask/fin/snorkle package and then says I need a regulator set up. They ask him first stage? Second stage, octo, spg? The guy basically says I dont care I am not going in the ocean it is for a pool dive just give me whatever you have. So they go over and they are looking around and she says to him ya know anything I have in stock is gonna run you a couple hundred bucks. This guys tells her he is in the middle of a pool repair and it needs to be fixed tonight. He then says and I quote, "I DONT CARE WHAT IT COST TIME IS MONEY JUST GIVE ME WHATEVER YOU HAVE". I couldnt believe it. What does my LDS do you may ask? Well she says sir why do you want to spend all that money, let me rent you a regulator for $20.00 and then if you still want something we can discuss it and find you something. This is what happened and they guy went on his way.
Now I dont care what anyone says but this is why I shop at The Scuba Connection!They are honest, stand up, frendly, knowledgable and the list goes on. I just thought this was a story worth telling.
