From dalehall:
From hoofpick: The most reputable place is going to be you local dive store.
Not always.. My LDS gouges to local customer and treats their internet customers much better. I can get a much better deal online than I can if I walk through the door, so I just use other internet based companies, such as LeisurePro.

Dale. I beg to differ. There are times I use internet companies for items my LDS does not carry. In my post above I mentioned a wetsuit that I found on-line "after" I tried every suit on at my local dive shop. But for the most part it is extremely important to support you local dive shop. Without your support to keep their doors open, who will show you how to use that dive computer, who will help you assemble your new tech BCD, who will service your gear annually in-house, who will fight the manufacturer for you when your expensive dive light or camera breaks, and who will fill your scuba tanks with air or nitrox??????? Sorry you had a bad experience with your local shop. I love and appreciate my Local Dive Shop.
