What I LIKE About My LDS

[Rick Inman]

Is this for real? How could that work?

I have it, and it does work, but I only have a 56K modem, so the fills are slow.

A VIP means they visually inspect the inside of the tank. There are a number of problems they look for. Tanks get a VIP once per year, or any time they're brought in empty.

Thank you.

My LDS is great too. Dudas Diving Duds in West Chester, PA. Been around since forever (the 60's) and don't really care where you buy you gear. They have good prices (not as good as the internet) and will give discounts. The people there are knowledgeable and friendly.

I second this opinion! I am very impressed with the service they gave my wife when she needed new seals on her dry suit. They are a breath of fresh air!

The main problem with internet fills is the inability of the provider to check for a c-card or current hydro status.

For now, they're working on the honor system, kind of like the old days in Florida where you could use a vending machine dealy-bob in front of the LDS during off-hours.

Technology is stunning.

Dude. They get it from your IP address. Sheesh!

Whoa!

Maybe I'm physics ignorant, but how the heck does that work???

Simple, it's Quantum electron physics.

Look at the above post I had about upgrading from a 56k modem to a cable modem.
it really helps and makes this product worthwhile.

Ya, and I understand that Homeland Security is now logging all EtherFills....Big Brother has his hands in everything and is watching you right now.

Actually, dialup is only slow on air fills. Lighter gasses (like helium) work great. I had to do a helium fill from a hotel room thru my laptop on dialup. I didn't notice any difference in speed from when I was on my high-speed cable access at home.

But yeah, air fills take FOREVER on dialup.
