Where to get gear in La Jolla / San diego?

[b3l3ns]

Hi!
I would like to ask for some places to get gear around San Diego.
I've been already to Ocean Enterprisers and Sports Chalet, but they have both the same wet suits, and just 1 model from aqualung, no mares or scubapro, etc. no so much to choose....

Can anyone recommend me some other places?

San Diego is not known for the best of scuba shops, but we went here:

Welcome to the Diving Locker

Next to the Balboa Mesa Shopping Center.

And in La Jolla:

House of Scuba, off of 5 near La Jolla (formerly Unreal Find) ... House of Scuba - San Diego Scuba diving equipment, wetsuits, snorkel equipment, gifts and gear

I've been there and they have good prices, and good people

You can also try IB Divers in Imperial Beach and The Dive Shack in EL Cajon.

My favorite shops around LA are Hollywood Divers (carry a lot of rec & tech stuff), Sea D Sea in Redondo Beach and Ocean Safari Scuba in San Gabriel. The last two are strictly rec. However with these three outfits, they're ready to wheel & deal with you.

Unfortunately, both of these shops are now CLOSED. The rumor though is that OEX will be re-opening in the same area but at a different location sometime soon.

OEX is now reopened in La Jolla Surf Systems at 2132 Avenida de la Playa (in La Jolla) and they have a store at 1931 South Coast Hwy. in Oceanside.

I've been to the shop in La Jolla (the Surf Systems) and they told me they do have nothing about scuba diving.......

I called and found out that the only OEX store to sell scuba is the one in Oceanside. There is another good shop in Oceanside, and several in Laguna. Two:
