IMO that's not right 
If I owned a dive shop youd be getting your air fills (and trying on items) elsewhere. |
Believe me bro... my LDS gets a fair share of my cash. Trips, spare shafts / bands etc for my gun, nitrox fills... I just bought a pair of 3MM neoprene socks yesterday and a stringer when I lost mine a few months ago. They service my gear and do viz inspections on my tanks but tell me that if you had the chance to save 150 bones on a speargun or 75 to 100 on a wetsuit by getting it online vs. buying it from you LDS you wouldn't take advantage... Diving is an expensive sport and even though I know my LDS is there to service divers first and make money second I sure am not all about throwing hundreds of dollars away so my LDS can make a sale. Hey more cash for our buddies at ST...
