Wow. I'm new to diving and even newer to scubaboard.com. This is the first thread I've read. It seems that Ranger offered a good tip on how to save a few bucks and pointed out a somewhat irritating but also, to me, mildly amusing observation about a business practice. I really think this is about the whole story. I appreciate the tip and, regardless of how expensive the sport may be, I've been involved with more expensive sports and five bucks is still five bucks. After reading all these posts I plan to go over and check out Scuba.com but I still plan to buy all my big items, Geez not too many more I hope, from my LDS.
Thanks Ranger. See you in the water I hope.
