Where to get setup with a BP/W in San Diego area?

[farmerstephen13]

Looking to setup my first rig, I know that I could easily get stuff online, but I like to see what I'm getting into. That being said, I would like to purchase this from an lds in the San Diego any suggestions?

house of scuba carries Dive Rite gear iirc, so they should have some

Also Beach Cities Scuba up in Dana Point. I think a good bit of HoS tech gear is special order.

You could drive to LA......

Yes. If you don't mind a bit of a drive, Robert @Scubatude is your man!

Or if you don't mind driving to north L.A, Deep Sea Supply is headquartered in Pasadena...

what they said.... The drive to Pasadena is well worth it. You are one-upping supporting a local dive shop, you're buying product that is completely made in California.... Conveniently it will also likely be cheaper and is all but guaranteed to be better than anything any of the LDS's will have

I'd call Robert (Scubatude) and schedule a time to meet him at his shop.

I think Ocean Enterprises (Clairemont Mesa area I think) might have some BP/W stuff for sale, at least they did the last time I walked through about a year ago. I'm assuming you mean backmount and not sidemount? UTD and a GUE shop are right next to each other (ok, a couple doors down in the same building near/in Sorrento Valley) if you want to go the DIR route, and I'm sure they'd have a BP/W for loan/rent if you took a class with them.

If you are interested in Halcyon or Scubapro, San Diego Divers really know their stuff, they are mostly tech divers and really know their products. Very friendly and value their customers. Was there last week and they checked/tweaked a Scubapro reg for me and didn't charge at all. They carry mostly Halcyon and Scubapro, not sure if they carry other brands.
