Tamas:The idea of bashing others goods to make themselves look better is not only limited to dive shops/operators. I have walked out of many car dealerships, minutes away from signing a deal, because the salesguy could not stop bashing my current vehicle. I find that especially true for Japanese makes (ie: I drive a Chevy and was looking for a small car for my mother - had bad experience at both Toyota and Honda) So the idea of making the competition look bad in order to enhance one's own is not new. The dive shop I got certified at was exactly like that - left that group fast.
But I also noticed that there are shops out there that will pull a fast one on you if you are not careful. As in swapping out used gear and selling it as new, and removing items from the package and selling it as an option......A buddy of mine bought a s/s backplate and 2 Poseidon Xstream regs. He didn't notice the scratches and the washer/nut marks on it until he took it apart at home, nor did he notice that one of the 1st stages was different from the other.....on the other hand the shop owner happened to have a BRAND NEW very nice shiny backplate and a brand new 1st stage that matched my buddies other. Another time when be bought a strobe for his camera, the unit should have come with a bag/case but they tried to sell it to him as an option, when the package contents clearly lists the case as well.
Some just don't learn, now they have lost both of our business for good!
WOW :icosm13:
I love my LDS. I like hooking up with them for the weekend dives. They often go with other LDS's and everyone has a great time.
