Sea Girl:This is a very interesting thread, does anyone have any stories on how they were caught, and or were rejected by a LDS for having "grey market" equipment? What happened???
Be very careful about buying any Aqua Lung merchandise over the internet.
AL does not authorize ANY internet sales! Therefore there is NO warranty with them. If you bring it to us for any service or warranty issues, we look up the serial numbers and we are not allowed per AL to even touch it if it was not purchased through an authorized dealer. These items are considered "grey" market items and are acquired through 3rd party sources.

NadMat:I really like some AL equipment, but due to their policies, and obvious lack of desire to track down suppliers to the grey market (somewhere an authorized dealer is selling them this equipment and a quick check of serial number would reveal who, in the event LP is not buying direct from AL) this BC may be my last purchase of AL equipment should their policies not change.
