I would say this is a legit site I have bought from it before and have been happy. Try looking at leisurepro.com they have good prices too this is where I purchase most of my gear. Just a note I do not view myself worth cheap. I can't afford the over priced equipment that a dive shop offers. The BCD I bought online was 350.00 at my local dive shop the same BCD was a whopping 900.00 I don't make that much money. Good luck and dive safely :)<br><b>References : </b><br> Well just ignore the rude answer you go from the scubabob. I would say this is a legit site I have bought from it before and have been happy.

Buy from an on line retailer and you'll get on line service for the item. Buy from a dive shop and you'll get in person, instant service. Personally, I'll NEVER buy online. I like breathing, I like not having to be dry for a few weeks while my gear is in transit being repaired ( if they will honour that), I like the savings I get buying from my local shop. He understands he has online competition and gives me a 10% break. I get fast service and zero down time. Can you borrow gear from an online shop while yours is getting serviced? No, didn't think so. The funny thing is...if you buy from your local shop, your prices go down. An example: Last week I bought an Ike Lite housing for my camera. From my local shop. I paid wholesale. Must be because I support my local shop. You want cheap though huh?Is that what you figure you're worth? Edit: I'm not being rude at all. I'm suggesting that the asker's life IS worth more than money. How is that being rude? I am also pointing out that cheap doesn't mean better and that by purchasing from your local shop, you'll often get discounts or even some things at cost. It's their way of saying "thanks" for helping them stay in business. I'll be heading to my usual shop tonight ( Friday) and enquire as to what their cost is in Canadian funds. Edit2: He can do 167.00 Canadian dollars. From the difference I see there, well. your choice. Me..I can just take it back. It's an LDS. I try and buy and if I screw up, I still have recourse because they trust me as I do them. Man..I still can't see how that guy thinks I'm being rude for laying it on the line. I'd love to take him/her/kid on a "trip". BTW, I'm not "rich", I just know what I need and spend appropriately.No fancy car, just a pick up that I bought for the simple reason that it hauls my dive gear ( com and rec) and it's red. The Red part cost me an extra 200 bucks. You get what you pay for, unless you're Shane. I don't dive with Shanes. Too many "equipment aborts". Shane's think that you can skip the common sense in lieu of cost savings. I like diving with people that place their well being and their buddies above all. If you feel comfortable, by all means...buy from those guys. I'm just pointing out the negatives, after all, it's your money. I'd just like you to think about the "future". Nitrox?. That's it. Sorry that Shane and yourself took it as rude. Far from it. I am just expressing what many cold water divers will. Simple...ask them.<br><b>References : </b><br> Pagro, you get what you pay for.

If they are any good, competition and no sale for them not considered, they will tell you if the site is any good or not. You could also ask the manufacturer if they know of this company, and what their reputation is. For myself, I never liked those computers, although they say that they have improved over the last 30 years. The dive tables and being liberal for the time spent at the deepest part of the dive tends to compensate for unknowns that the computers will only do an average for. If the computer average is not in your favor, you could get bent, or worse.<br><b>References : </b><br>diver, and retired instructor Your best bet is to ask at a dive shop.
