I’ll purchase the non-life supporting items on line (masks, fins, accessories, etc.). Regs, bc’s, tanks, and computers I buy at the LDS for several reasons. I want to support my LDS. They’ve always been straight with me and I know they will always provide top service when needed. If I’m going to spend hundreds of dollars on an item, I like being able to actually see it first and often try it out before purchasing. (I know, it’s an old fashioned thing).
