From LatitudeAdjustment: Scuba is not a "uniform " sport! Caves, deep dives, wrecks, beach entrys all require different equipment. The scuba uniform is for new divers only, that’s where a LDS makes the majority of its income, by outfitting these newbies with full sets of gear. Con-ed & technical divers can still get their gear at the LDS, mostly on special order, but they’re still supported.
From LatitudeAdjustment: The problem I see with a uniform set is there is no upgrading and no buying anything new the brand brings out. At some point it’s going to limit the shops income. That’s not true, new gear comes out, the LDS buys those items in bulk once their inventory of the older items is sold. Then they update their staff’s gear to match the new/updated products.
