Do not purchase from Scuba Toys

I hate to post this, but it's the truth. ST has a major scam going on, and I want to warn people about it. They start out with great products, low prices, and awesome customer service, just to lure you in. Then they get you to join their forum, and offer further discounts if you post a certain amount of times (which tempts you to buy more stuff from them....even stuff you don't really need). From there on, they think they have you hooked. You continue to post on the forum, and continue to order more stuff from them. It's like an addiction. For example, I just placed another order a few days ago. It wasn't things I really needed, but for some reason I just had to place an order. It's weird. Now, I've been fighting this addiction for 2 years, and they have my credit card on file. Please beware, and don't fall into the same trap I have. Oh crap....I just thought of something I really have to have for next weekends dive........here we go again. Must break the chains.....

Hey Larry, You have to adjust the flicker rate. Some of them are picking up on the subliminals. We had the same problem on Fox News last November and look what happened.

You're right. It is a scam! I put in an order this evening after the sun went down. Figured it would go out the next day. Nope! Went out tonight! Oh the horror. To make it worse, I got a call saying that they were out of the product I wanted but they would give me a more expensive version for the same price. Only thing worse than these people are child molestors, hippies, and Kalifornians.

You know what else they do?

They screw over local dive shops thusly;

1. You send in your reg for service.
2. They service it and send it back.
3. The reg works when you dive with it.

What a scam!

A local dive shop should be able to make several hundred dollars a year "repairing" your "faulty" regulator.
