Any dive store recommanded at Seattle?

Hi,

Does anyone of you know about good dive stores around Seattle down town?
I'm a new comer. Thanks! :10:

I would recommend both Lighthouse Diving Center up on Lake City Way and Discount Divers Supply over on Westlake if your close to downtown. I found that lighthouse tends to have better stock of new things as well as better prices on used tanks. It has been my experience that Discount has a better selection overall, of used gear, anyway.

Northwest Sports Divers in Kenmore is worth the drive.

It's all a matter of perception, I suppose ... those are the two stores I'd recommend people stay away from.

If you're in downtown Seattle, my recommendation is either Underwater Sports on Aurora Ave or Northwest Sports Divers in Kenmore. A little further east, Bubbles Below in Woodinville is also a great shop.

It also depends on what you want to do in the shop. Just get fills or buy equipment?

Thanks for all the input!
I'm looking for adding some new equip first, then maybe later for the air service.

All of you are v. helpful, thanks for the prompt response!

always better to give your money to any LDS than some only store.

Specifically Underwater Sports' Divers Fair in July. Lots of good deals there in the past and I'd expect more good deals again this year too.
