I can't find anyone in the states to buy a mako2

That's because we do not sell to any dive shops or retailers in the US. We can offer the "MAKO Direct" price because we really do sell direct to the consumer. Give us a call or place an order on our website, if you have any questions, PLEASE let us know and we will do our best to make sure we have one more happy customer.
 
Can I order just the bands?

Of course! We would be happy to make bands to your specifications.

And please note that our bands are not made UNTIL you order them. They are hand tied by our staff. This ensures that you get the freshest bands possible.

MAKO Custom Made Latex Bands
 
Right on. I may just wind up buying the stuff to tie my own. I change bands pretty frequently. Which leads me to another question. I've heard putting your band material in the freezer extends its shelf life, is there any merit to this?

We have heard some information that freezing may be detrimental. A lot of people keep it in the fridge, but the enemies are times, ozone, light and excessive heat. Keeping it in an opaque garbage bag, in a closet in an air conditioned house and away from any electrical motors is probably smart.

We sell latex by the foot and go through a lot. There may be little benefit to buying a large quantity and then storing it for years..when you can always buy fresh, high quality Primeline Latex from us. And we do stock all the materials and tools necessary to build your own bands.

This video make serve as a good refresher:
