"Can you get better prices
    by ordering from Mail Order
        or on the Internet?"

Maybe.  The Internet is great for providing instant information but not necessarily for providing service.  Internet direct sellers are selling dive gear at its basic worth, unassembled, in the box and are not in a position to provide the services in the sale and after the sale that we do.  So do you want a cheap price ... or a great value?

An intelligent Internet strategy:

You want to understand the purchase you are anticipating making.  You know you want to touch the merchandise and try it on first!  All the pictures, sizing charts and virtual reality are no substitute.

Come visit us; check the size, the quality of the material, get the catalogs and anything else to help you choose the perfect system and above all, ask questions of our staff.  Now fully armed, hit the net to find out the market value of your gear without the value added that we provide.

Then before you send that credit card number off to someone out-of-state or even out-of-the-country, give us one last chance to make you one of our many happy, loyal customers.  Just show us what system you've chosen and what pricing you've found.  

In exchange, we’ll make certain that you are getting what you think you’re getting; the right size, the current model, the right features, etc.  We’ll tell you what the cost difference would be if you bought that identical system from us with all the value that we add.  One number. No pressure. You decide. 

We promise that we will treat you with all the cordial respect due an intelligent and thorough shopper, and we will sincerely attempt to negotiate something that will make us both happy.  

Good luck in your hunt.  You’re going to love having your own gear and going diving.

"What are the Pitfalls of Internet &
    Mail Order Purchasing?" 

Internet and Mail Order sellers are generally not manufacturer authorized dealers and they’re most always way out-of-town.  

Most manufacturers recognize the value that local dive shops provide in presenting their products to prospective purchasers and in creating and facilitating the development of a local diving community necessary to have a viable market in the first place.  

So in order to be sure that their gear is properly set up and serviced before their customer jumps into the water with it, they require their distributors to be full service dive shops.  

Although an Internet seller may come into possession of equipment from "going-out-of-business" sales, overseas outlets, stores who need to make a quick buck, or some other means, manufacturers do not sell directly to them.  

Manufacturers try to limit these sellers from getting gear, and do not honor warranties on equipment purchased through these sellers as they are not authorized dealers.
