I agree with mo2vation. I rented tanks from a sc in LA while visiting for a week. No drama and great hours. Didn't try to sell me crap. In and out, no hassle or expected loyalty from me in the future.

Tripod:Hey which store was that? I am in AZ and just signed up for AOW at the Scottsdale SC. I'll say that I got great service while there. I talked to Dave (instructor) who gave me excellent service and knowledge. I got my OW cert from SC in huntington beach a few years ago and that was a good experience as well.
($60 bux off my legend for PMing a LDS price) that were going on, I saved over $500 on my $1500 purchase. No hassles either
The other advantage I saw with thsi is that SC can service all my gear and will have my warranties on file with their stores AS WELL as with the manufacturer which should eliminate some of that hassle, especially since I split my time between AZ and CA where they have stores all over the place.
Tease.ianw2:There's a really cute blonde in the Temecula SC. She's only been diving for a bit under 12 months. She's got OW and AOW and about 75 or 80 dives in!
She's a really good diver and BOY, HOWDY, she's HOT!
Oh...she's my wife!

I only disagree with #3... The SC near me has a couple of DUI suits in stock, and also rents DUI drysuits. In fact, they probably have the largest rental fleet of drysuits (TLS350s) of any shop in SoCal... no other store has as many as SC does.muddiver:Mo2vation pretty much covered the good points. I would add that their return policy is pretty nice, i.e. "If it's broke, bring it in and here is a new one".
And I like their "free" pony refill policy.
The bad I have experienced are that:
1. If you take your rig in for service, it goes somewhere else for two to four weeks and does not come back tuned correctely.
2. Their prices help keep the "new and shinny" look of the store supported, so you pay more for the gear.
3. Dry suit, what's that?
4. If the class is not currently scheduled, leave you name and number and we will ignore you.
