Well, I would support my LDS if I had one. I am totally landlocked in the middle of the Nevada desert, I have no dive shop. Infact, in order for me to dive I need to drive 250 miles at minimum. So, that having been said, alot of my purchases are done on line, but also at dives shops where I happen to travel to to dive, I try to spread it around as much as I can, but untill I move to an area where I have a dive shop, my current purchaseing will have to remain the way it is.
