Your not getting the point. If the class had been billed as 250 (including air and pic and everything else) that would be fine. It is when they say the class is 200, all inclusive, then at the end they hold the card hostage until the give up more money. It isn't the price in this instance so...

I'll concede in the light of that. You have one of those LDS's that have good service. My LDS would have said, "Hey, it was used. Sorry"

BTW, it does suck being away from the water. They have some lakes nearby and they have the gulf, but nothing really close. Better then being in Kansas or Nebraska though.

I am a regional trainer for Forward Observation/Insurgancy Operations for Inspector and Instructor (I&I staff) for verious Reserve stations in the 4th Mar Div. I am active duty, working with the active duty counterparts, whom work with the reservist. I work from Wyoming to Texas, Arizona to...

LDS's sell used gear, what is the difference. Used gear is used gear. The seller in the LDS can be just a scandelous as the seller on ebay, possible more due to training and experience. (not to imply that LDS owners are crooked, oh no) Every purchase wether online or at a store carries risk.

The key word was tanks. Not bradleys or APC's. Like those, there are many armored vehicles that can float or traverse water. LAV19 and LAV-26 with props on the back side. AMTRACKS and the new AAAV, 40+ knots on the water. BTW, my comments were a joke. Appologize for hitting a nerve or...

Make sure that this is incorprated into your Air Management plan, you SAC rate may be off the chart, and where do you keep the after cigarette? :cuddle: LOL

In this particular case I am going to have to say that it is an under-the-table type deal.

Not really.

If I could find a dive shop that offered the above then I would totally agree with your stance on "the LDS is the place to go" theory. However, reality is (at least in my area)... Overly priced classes (rescue for 350, bring your own gear and air) Overly priced travel Overly priced...

Working on getting that clue...

:off: :off: :off: This is a completly different conversation now. I agree with your above statement. Dive shops, IDC's in particular, need to regulate who they make instructors and control thier product more. The IDC owner/operator gets greedy for the 1000 doller class fee. The problem is...

Try reposting this in the North America section. A lot of divers from FL hang out there

The internet may not be the "local economy" but it is the Purchasing Economy of the future. If "bestscubaprices.com" can offer me the best service and options then they are going to get my buisness. I am not going to buy a Scubapro Reg when I want an Apeks simply beause that is all the LDS has...

"Ignorance must be battled on every street corner. Let no child be left behind." I guess this was RichLockyer's battle with you.

It is Darwins theory in full effect. Survival of the Fittest Only this time as it affects the LDS in an battle of economic evolution.

:blahblah: I don't have enough money to make my LDS owner fat and happy (even though most LDS owners around here are portly). The gear I purchase is for me. It is to make ME happy, not him. Sure, if you buy gear online, you have never seen the seller and cannot look at the specific...

During a Deep Assault Training Course (Sort of like an AOW/Deep speciality/Multi gas/multi level dive) my student was trailing behind me. We were doing a sloping beach ascent at about 20fsw after having been at max bottom depth of 180fsw, anyway, we had completed all our deco obligation and...

I jump out of helo's and planes with parachute and either scuba or rebreather for a living in the Marine Corps but I had never heard of getting wet then hitching a ride on a helo bucket then sky-diving out and into a forest fire. Kind of a stupid sport if you ask me. I am Glad it is a hoax...
