This is a all true but sad story. Had the same thing happen to a local dive shop here and in a small town it makes it even harder to get air fills or even to find some one to service equipment. I now have to travel to Seattle Washington (300 mile trip) or to Spokane Washington 110 mile trip) for service or repairs and at a much high cost. Thanks internet and PADI isn’t helping with on line open water classes that take the money away from the local shops!!
