Would you buy from this company (Salvo)

[piikki]

I don't know even if a link like this can be posted on this forum... Women do you find this funny and would you buy from this company?

I was really planning on needing two can lights soon but hey, my number one option just flew outta the window I think....

Wow...and people make fun of my website for being PINK!!!

No. I would not buy from this company. I'm not even sure that I would dive with anyone who bought from this company.

At least now I have a site to refer guys to when they argue about it still being a "male dominated sport"

Sartek makes some nice lights. Their catalog is quite long since they list every possible combination of battery with light head.

that's a particularly stupid ad from a company (Salvo) that makes excellent stuff

who put their brain on hold on this one?

 

[Blitz]

Of all the possible comments I have, I will stick to...... wow. Just wow.

I have to admit what they did with their backplate advert makes me not want to check their P-valve page.

Wow, I don't know what to say. The person who USED to manage their webpage has moved on to other things, but I'll make a polite comment to the owner about the new "feature". I've purchased from Salvo in the past, still feel they make the best can light in the business, but clearly this is a misstep.

To be quite frank though, I think we've all done things in our lives that probably seemed ill-thought out in hindsight. Before you toss aside what has been a staple in the cave diving community, lets see how they respond to a calm suggestion. The owner may not even be aware the image is on the site...

Jeez... that is waaaay over the top. Has the owner "returned" yet? Maybe it was his idea, after being away for so long

 

[PerroneFord]

Yes, the owner has returned. I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago at the shop.
