[SHAGGY]

I have to say that thanks to ST I now find it hard to face the owner of my LDS. My employer purchases ALL of my gear and never has a problem with the price, so therefore all of my and my partners gear is top of the line and has been purchased at my LDS. I recently began searching for gear for my 17 year old son who starts his open water dives next week, and I called up my LDS and told him I was looking for a low price but good quality starter setup for my son. He quoted me $1,100 + tax on a BC, Used Reconditioned Reg, and an analog 2 gauge setup with Octo. I then gave ST a call and I asked them if they could build me a package with the items that I had heard good reviews about on the forum and I was told no problem. In the end I ordered a Riptide Zone BCD, Tusa RS-130 Reg, Tusa Duo Air IR3 Inflator/Reg, Aeris Analog 2 gauge console, and this came all assembled with the free ST Reg bag as well. In the end I paid just a few cents over $600 after S&H & Texas sales and the 10% ST forums discount. So,...... Thanks Scuba Toys for creating another ackward moment at my LDS for me,...LOL
