Dive Shops on Scuba Earth

I know there are a lot more dive shops than are listed in the Scuba Earth map. I understand why a diver may not be interested, but why would a dive shop exclude them self is beyond me. Maybe they are afraid of more business?! Perhaps they’re locked into some contract that prevents the free services of Scuba Earth? Maybe they don’t think it’s worth their time because no one will visit them after finding them via Scuba Earth?

Well, I’d like to see if there’s any interest in More Dive Shops listed.

Finish this sentence: A posted DS near me or a dive spot...

[Choose #5] ...dive shops carry certain manufacturers, so if the DS I usually buys from doesn’t carry a particular item, it’s nice to see the other DS in the area who might carry that item.

[Choose #1] I don’t understand that either, when posting new dive sites using info from a LDS’s website I’ve sent them emails asking them to add their shop and most don’t. Then they’ll say they went out of business because of online shoppers!
