I started a store that sells 3mm fullsuits for as low as $45....

[Just Dive Gear]

I am about to launch a new ecommece business. I am tired of spending $150 and up for a new suit. I know when I go diving it wears out and then it is time to buy another suit. So I have made a deal with a manufacturer and I am saling them dirt cheap. These suits retail for $120 - $180..... I will also have sizes up to a 4XL. If you need a size bigger let me know and I will do my best to get it. Anybody interested yet?

Just Dive Gear,

Sounds tempting. Do you have a website where I can check them out? Thanks.

[frankc420]

It's justdivegear.com, running OScommerce with a Templatemonster.com purchased template, and hosted by Siteground.

Am I spot on? :)

To add that WHOIS shows that the registrant is based in Roanoke, TX. It was just registered.

[Busdiver]

You sales it?

[deepblueme]

How is the stitching/
What grade noeprene? It's not all the same.

Sometimes you do get what you pay for.

[shoupart]

Do you carry 7mm suits? And hooded vests?

[Just Dive Gear]

Man I did not expect such a great return on this so quickly....

Ok let me see if I can answer your questions.

Do you have a website where I can check them out? Yes and frankc420 nailed it. It is a template for now and running oscommerce. I am going to have up to 12 different colors. I am just working out the bugs on the site so when it is all up and running I will post on this forum.


Busdiver asked do I sale it.... Well I am saling it online. They are manufactured from a company called sharkeyslocker.com. If you go to Sharkeys Locker (http://www.sharkeyslocker.com/Scuba_Wetsuits.html) This will show you all the suits that will be posted for sale. Everything they have marked in Stock will be sold.

Deepblueme said: How is the stitching/
What grade noeprene? It's not all the same.

Sometimes you do get what you pay for.
I will check on the type of Neoprene. YOu are right they are not all the same I just cannot remember the percentages.... Also I do agree you have to be careful because at this price you probably think it is not good quality. They have Flat Lock stiching with zippers on the legs and cuffs.... Also they have Glued and Blind stiched stiching on the others. I have one that I have been diving with and I love it so far. I got the yellow one with Flat Lock stiching and have had no problems with it.... My brother got there 5mm and he says it is very warm and he will not go back to henderson.

shoupart Do you carry 7mm suits? And hooded vests?
They dont have 7mm yet but I have already talked to them about em and they plan on getting those in hopefully by next year. I believe I will be able to sale 7mm around $70 or $80. They have also mentioned Shorties, Farmer Johns/Janes. I am not sure about the hooded vests but I will ask. I know they do have some 5mm suits now.


On another note: I am happy to see such a great response already. If you go there site you can click on dema pictures and it will show you some of there suits as well. If you have any other questions post them and I will try and respond ASAP.... Thanks again.....

[Rickg]

Frank - thanks for the web address.

[Just Dive Gear]

Not a problem Rickg. Definetly check them out and if you see something you like I could possibly get it to you before the site it up just let me know.

[shoupart]

Cool, thanks for the response. If/when you carry 7mm and hooded vests for cold water, feel free to keep my contact info around and PM me when it's available.

[Just Dive Gear]

Deepblueme: I called my brother a divemaster and asked him if they were dive quality and he said yes. These suits are being sold in Diveshops for $180. The reason I am going to be able to sale them at a great price is I am not tripling my money. You are right you get what you pay for so you are getting a $180 suit for a great price. These are not surfin suits and my brother also mentioned that he would put his suit up against pennicle any day.

The type of Neoprene used is 70/30... 70 is soft neoprene and the 30 is hard neoprene.

If you would like more specifics let me know and I can break it down further explaining SBR, SR, CF etc....

The reason I am going to sale these suits is that I am wanting all divers to be able to dive in a quality suit at a great price.

Let me know if there are any other questions....

[Just Dive Gear]

shoupart

I sure will. I contacted them today and they said they will definetly carry 7mm soon. So as soon as they do I will let you know. They will retail for around $200 or $300 I should have them for about $70 or $80. :)

[MurkyRockDiver]

I believe you should be saying , sell them not sale them :) And I am not the grammar police I am just being friendly. Best of luck with your new business.

[TwoBitTxn]

Busdiver was pointing out the bad grammer. You are going to sell wet suits. You have a sale on wet suits.

Best wishes on your venture.

TwoBit

[Codyjp]

a diving website that has a windsurfer on the front page... maybe a bit ahead of yourself there?

I also got a warning when i tried to checkout. it warned that the site was unsafe and then gave me an error page.

[evensplit]

The Omni Mont-Royal is very nice.....

[Just Dive Gear]

lol.... Yea I am not the best with grammar Thank god I dive better than I spell... lol.... :)

Codyjp: Sorry about the error. The site is still under construction. I am working on getting the SSL and everything up within the next 2wks. I agree the surfer image needs to go... I am going to create a new image for that spot...

If anybody is interested in a suit let me know with a Private Message and i will get one for you. Thanks for the luck on the business.... :)

[Codyjp]

so then you can't provide a secure checkout?

[frankc420]

so then you can't provide a secure checkout?

He stated in an earlier post that his site is still under construction and is NOT live yet.

I've PM'd him to see if he needs assistance getting things running, as setting up an Ecommerce site in a weeks time is not an easy task for many. He probably jumped the gun by posting about the business, but that's what excitement does to people when it comes to their new baby.

[Just Dive Gear]

lol... That is right frankc420.... I am real excited about this business and the I am working about 8hrs a night right now getting things set up. There will be a secure checkout. Also if you prefer I am even getting my ebay store ready which will have the same product and price available.

I just put up a construction page so there is no more confusion. All I can say is when it is live get a suit and let me know what you think. I have a good relationship with the manufacturers so if there are certain sizes or colors you are wanting I might be able to pull some strings.....

Once again I will have a secure checkout and I hope to have this up no later than next Friday March 28.... When it is live and ready to go I will post it here so you will definetly know. I will even keep you updated on the Ebay store too.

Once again thanks for the comments and let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

[frankc420]

Just send me a suit and I'll review it for you :D

[jac11819]

Hi,
I tried the website listed and had no luck.

[Just Dive Gear]

lol... I might do that if you will install some of the extensions... :)

I wanted to run an idea by you all. I am thinking about having Dive Buddy Specials. So basically you would be able to get 2 suits at a discounted rate. What do you think? Let me know of any other ideas you might like to see on the site.

[Just Dive Gear]

Jac11819: Did you see a construction page I just posted it this morning....

[Codyjp]

thanks for being strait on this JDG. good luck with the site.

[Just Dive Gear]

Codyjp: not a problem... I am sorry for the confusion. I hope to have the site up soon for you to check out the great deals.

[Just Dive Gear]

Just wanted to give an update on Just Dive Gear (http://www.JustDiveGear.com)

The site will be live no later than Friday March 28. I will post on here when it is ready to go. We are very excited about its launch.... We have suits that are XS up to 4XL.

I will keep you all updated and let you know when it is up and running.

[Just Dive Gear]

Ok the site is now live check it out and let me know if you have any questions....

Just Dive Gear (http://justdivegear.com/)

Let me know what you think about the suits after you try one.

[TwoBitTxn]

Many/most of your descriptions are chopped off at the end. Something seems missing.

[clem]

Honestly, your web site does not impress. I would look askance at the suits based on the quality of the images and the overlow pricing. Why are all the suits bi-colored? Has someone dumped some unsaleable stock on you?

[dtykris]

Ok the site is now live check it out and let me know if you have any questions....

Just Dive Gear (http://justdivegear.com/)

The size chart is not loading

[Ed Hatfield]

On the Sharkeys Locker website he referred to there is a mens 'all black' but it is listed as 'taking orders' and available '90-120' days. I am really looking forward to some 'user' feedback on this equipment. Most suits I see are two tone usually as a stylish selling feature.

[frankc420]

I've got two of these suits coming to me. Both are the 5/4mm Red/Black that are on their site. I ordered the L and XXL. I'll have the opinion from two other guys and myself, when I get the suits, and after I dive them.

I'll keep you all posted.

[ucfdiver]

I'll be ordering a really thin suit for the keys later this summer.

[Just Dive Gear]

TwoBitTxn: Yea we are working on trying to make the descriptions on the main page look a little better. If you click on the product it should show the full description.

Clem: The reason they are very well priced is I am not trying to triple my money like most dive shops try to do. I am trying to give divers a great price on a great product. No, nobody has dumped stock on me. I have purchased these products and I am just providing them to you. We have found the bi-colored suits to be very popular. I will let you know when we get full color suits in. You can even sign up for the newsletter and it will notify you of new products. Clem see Ed Hatfields reply.

Dtykris: Sorry about that the size chart should load now.


Once again thanks for all the posts and I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you have. I am looking forward to getting feedback on these products.

Just Dive Gear (http://www.justdivegear.com)

[Ed Hatfield]

Are you supplying US only, or are you shipping to Canada as well. Have you any idea what the end price is with taxes, shipping, and import costs?

[truck1]

Are you going to be selling other dive items or just wetsuits?

[kidspot]

Looks like some great deals, especially now that scubal.com is no longer selling stock sizes. And I REALLY appreciate that you offer USPS priority mail - that is a huge benefit to those of us in Hawaii and Alaska.

Aloha, Tim

[Just Dive Gear]

Ed Hatfield: Yes we will ship to Canada. Let me see if I can find out about the fees involved. I know we are going to offer FedEx soon for shipping too.

Truck1: Yes, I have some accessories I am going to add soon. And the plan is to eventually add Fins, Masks, Snorkels, BCs, Dive Tools and accessories. We would like to carry as many products as possible and all at great prices.

Kidspot: That is good to know. We will also be offering FedEx soon.


Thank you for all the posts and if you have any other questions please let me know.

Best regards,

[Waterskier1]

I would be nice if you added the size chart from Sharkey's Locker. (Or at least a link to it). Having just bought a dry suit, I was amazed how different the sizes from different manufacturers are.

[Just Dive Gear]

Waterskier1: Sorry I may add it to the homepage, but if you click on an item after description you will see a size chart link.... :)

[rcsoar4fun]

Anyone get one of these yet? Trying to decide on a wetsuit, seems like a great deal.

Kristopher

[Just Dive Gear]

rcsoar4fun: We have sent out two suits and a lycra to people in this forum so I am sure they will let you know what they think once they use them. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.... :)

mwhities... lol man even at these prices still trying to get a deal... lol I will sale you one though at an incredible price... :)

I'm trying to help promote your site and suits. I can't help it if I'm about to spend 2K+ on other gear... I'll be broke then and then, that's where you come in. ;)

[Just Dive Gear]

Just wanted to let everybody know we are working on the site a little so if you see an error it will be fixed shortly. We have added an SSL and just working on getting that secured.

[Just Dive Gear]

Ok we now have SSL installed on the site... :)

[divebri]

someone just posted as a sock puppet over on scubadiving.com's diver board, claiming to be just a customer who got a great deal on a wetsuit, we sniffed him out as the webmaster (maybe more). Deceit, deceit, deceit.......
I would be VERY CAREFUL with this, guys. The webmaster outright lied, based on the posts here that the site wasn't even operational until VERY recently, and he acted as a shill to tell us how good the wetsuits were.
Here's a link: t (http://www.scubadiving.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=86204)
The website doesn't have any contact information, not an address, phone number, nothing.
I do not like to do business with disreputable people who lie. This could be all legit, but I don't have a good feeling about it..... look at the link to make your own decisions.
Good luck, I told the sock puppet I was going to look for him.....He also deleted all his posts, so you'll have a little bit of a hard time following, but trust me when I tell you it was not good. Why he had to be deceitful and not just say he's started a new business is beyond me, but it is what it is.
Let's try the link again: t (http://www.scubadiving.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=86204)

[divebri]

The only posts he's made on Scubaboard are about his great deals on wetsuits.
Seems it he's "one of us", he would have posted before.......

Maybe he was a customer before he started the business? I understand why you might be scared, but he's legit. I received my wetsuits in the mail about 20 minutes ago.

Some people, like yourself, feel it's your duty to be the scuba police.

[Just Dive Gear]

Actually I am aware of this. Divebri I am sorry if you experienced some problems in a post about this company. We offer our apologies and the person will be dealt with. However don’t let that one person decide the reputation of the company. We have branded suits from a manufacturer that is a dema member and shows last year in Florida, California and Georgia. Like I said don’t let one person discourage you from a good company. I appreciate your honest and comments.

We have sold a few suits and I hope to receive those reviews very soon. :)

[frankc420]

My first impressions of these suits, I ordered two, both are the 5/4mm Red/Black. I ordered them in L and XXL.

At first glance, I can tell the stitching stands out more on this suit than my Henderson. But, that's like comparing a Lexus to a Toyota. The Henderson suit I dive goes for ~$300, this suit goes for $60. At closer inspection, the stitching looks to be high quality, just doesn't have the clean appearance of higher priced suits. The stitch on this suit is sewn and glued, so it should last quite awhile. Without diving it, I'm going to guess that leaking around the seams like some suits, will not be present because of the glueing, we'll see. The sizing looks to be right on, but I have yet to try the suit on (I'm at work). The neck seal is adjustable and the suit is back zip. The red on the suit is dark, so it doesn't stand out like some red/black combos, this to me, is great, I hate bright colors.

Appearance rating (1-10): 8.5

Would I buy another suit from these guys? Based on appearance alone, absolutely.

I'll keep you guys posted once I have tried it on. Just so you know, my review is from 2 different people. Myself and my dive buddy (he wears the L).

[frankc420]

Forgot to mention, the manufacturer of these suits has a really nice logo. It's a picture of a shark :D

[Just Dive Gear]

Frankc: Thank you for your review. I am happy you like the suits. I look forward to you trying it on and getting in the water with it.… :)

I am currently working on having Sharkey's create an all black suit (Full ultra stretch Possibly) which will only have a small logo on the collar. Also, the stitching appearance has been addressed and they have already begun creating the new suit. After they get samples in and test them they will have them available for sale.

[divebri]

and I hope you ARE legitimate. It was an extremely bad way to start, that's for sure.:no
I would like to ask you, then, point blank: Are you saying it was NOT YOU that was the sock puppet?
And, assuming the answer to that is no, does the sock puppet have any ownership in the company?

You might think these questions are out of bounds, but based on the posts, they are very legitimate questions due to that person's lack of ethics.
Scuba police, huh? How about friends helping friends???????:)

[rcsoar4fun]

JDG, where do you guys ship from? How long does it normally take to get them out the door? I am in the process of moving, would like to pick one up, just curious if I could have one show up in a week or two. Would be nice to be ready to hit the water when I get to Corpus. :)

[Just Dive Gear]

Divebri: This person is somebody that has helped get things going. If you would like, send me a PM and we can discuss this further.

rcsoar4fun: You are looking at about 3-5 business days to get your wetsuit. We usually ship the very next day after you have placed your order. Also, once you create an account you will be able to see the status of your order just by logging into the site. Almost forgot we ship from Dallas/Fort Worth. I hope this answered your question. Oh I bet you dont even unapck before you hit the water..lol :)

[frankc420]

Scuba police, huh? How about friends helping friends???????:)

Bleh. You can call it whatever you want, your just rude. Bagging on a startup company is as bad as hitting someones car and driving off, only difference in this case is your actually stopping to back over your victim. Unless your one of their customers and have had a bad experience, I don't see where you have a leg to stand on. :shakehead:

I'm a very pleased customer and will recommend them to many. As a matter of fact, Justdive, expect an order from a guy named Craig.

:popcorn:

[Just Dive Gear]

Frank: Thank you for recommending us I appreciate that. So where are you going diving this weekend?

[F'in Mike]

JDG,
I applaud your entreprenial ways. Awesome, it seems as if your risk is paying off. Unfortunately, there are some nay sayers out there, but I can see both sides. As a newer memeber, I am aware that there are some people who get ripped off, and that is obvoiusly very bad. However, JDG has been (by my account) very responsive to the post that have been written here. It seems as though this person has taken the time to answer and address all concerns by the SB members. This person has replied in a very timely manner to all comments both positive and negative. Please, lets give this guy the benefit of the doubt. I want him to be successful, so I can buy a wetsuit for a good price. Just because there as dishonorable people who may post on this website, doesn't necessarily means JDG is one of them. I fact it seems just the opposite. Good Luck JDG. If I didn't hate wetsuits as much as I do, I might contact you.

[frankc420]

Frank: Thank you for recommending us I appreciate that. So where are you going diving this weekend?

Hopefully rig diving off the coast of Mississippi. Weather report is showing 3-4 footers though :11:

[Ann Marie]

JDG,

Just sent a link to your website to a friend of mine that is looking for a 3mm for his son.

Good luck with the site. If he ends up buying one, I'll post feedback here for you!

[Just Dive Gear]

F’in Mike: Thank you for posting your comment. This forum is doing really well to help me get the word out. I hope to place an advertisement soon on here. Also, I will be placing some accessories on the site soon so check back now and then to see if those have been posted. We can never have to many toys…

Frankc420: I don’t care if they are 8-10 footers you will be under all that anyway I would like a review on that suit sometime in the next month… lol… just pulling your leg keep me posted but I hope your dive trip does not get cancelled.

Ann Marie: Let me just say that this person has been fantastic. Very helpful… Thank you for that Ann… I appreciate you sending that link over to your friend. If he has any questions he can contact me here, or direct email sales@justdivegear.com I am the main one that checks that email.

Once again thanks for everybody that is being positive about this company. I hope we can get some suits out there and you will start hearing feedback soon. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns feel free to contact me through a post, PM or sales@justdivegear.com

[rcsoar4fun]

Just placed order, will report back how it goes. Only shipping it allowed was parcel post though, thought that was strange, showed other options previously.

[Just Dive Gear]

I just removed that would you like the other options back? If so I will add them back right now.... :)

[Just Dive Gear]

Ok just added Priority shipping to the options... :)

[BuckSlice4]

Any idea what it wouold be to ship to Canada, Toronto area?

[bryanmc57]

I have a question about the size chart. It shows the inseam on the XL as 34". Is this correct? The inseam on a 2xl is listed as 30.7"

[Just Dive Gear]

BuckSlice4: It would cost around $28 for shipping to that area. Send me a pm with the suit you would like and your address and we can get a more accurate estimate and arrange payment and shipment.

Brynmc57: mmm That is interesting let me look into that and I will make the correction on the size chart. Good catch. Thanks

[Just Dive Gear]

Brynmc57: Ok made the correction. Thanks again for catching that. :)

[frankc420]

Dove my new suit yesterday. I was quite toasty in 58 degree waters. My dive buddy that was supposed to dive his new 5/4 from JustDiveGear decided he wanted to dive his Henderson 3mm on the first dive, even after I told him he shouldn't. (the water was just too cold for 3mm, plus he had no hood on)

He jumped in a was instantly gasping for air, the cold water took his breathe away, he called the dive for himself, as me and another diver dove the rig. I never got cold, not even for a second.

The suit was kind of tight in the arms and legs when I was donning on the boat, but that might be normal for new suits and thicker neoprene. Once I was in the water though, it loosened up to where I was comfy. I ended up wearing the suit all the way back to the dock.

My dive buddy did try his suit on, he said it fit better than his Henderson.

[Just Dive Gear]

Thanks for the great review. :)

[rcsoar4fun]

I got my suit in last week, unfortunately it was a little larger than expected and I will be exchanging it for a slightly smaller size. Previously I have been diving with a ScubaPro, but the quality of this one looks quite good, so no concerns with using it.

[violakat03]

I wasn't planning to get a 5mm for cost reasons (just sticking with 3mm and 7mm) but this is sorely tempting me ...

Definitely let me know if you get in some 7mm, I live in the cold North quarry region and need a 7mm! Especially if Sharkey's starts making a 7mm farmer jane/jacket!

[gnwes]

I hear ya on that 5mm... great price but the manequinns are kinda creepy!

[Just Dive Gear]

lol.... I do agree the manequinns are a little scary. I told them to get some models of real people for the suits. :)

Yea I do hope they get in some 7mm's soon. They are getting a lot of calls for them.

rcsoar4fun: thanks for the quick review. I will be looking for the return so we can send the new size out for ya... :)

[BNow0707]

JDG just send me a XL size of all your suits to me and i'll take new website photos for you for free LOL:rofl3:

Just Kidding

Any idea on a time frame of the 7mm suit and/or other gear? I just looked at the sharkey's page as soon as you start getting the accessories gear feel free to PM me. I'm very interested in several items if the price can remain close to the prices on the site.

I do agree with previous posters the models are scary!! :D

[GYANNI]

Hi, I'd like to get a 5mm, whjere can I find a size chart?
Thanks

[shoturtle]

Where are these suits made, thailand, taiwan, or china?

[Just Dive Gear]

So I just have to send you one of every style and you will model them...lol...
I am not sure yet on a timeframe for the 7mm suits. I would expect next season hopefully. I am going to try and get some accessories soon.... :)

GYANNI: You can actually find a link for the size chart when you are viewing the detailed descriptions of the suit or you can view them here.

Mens: http://www.justdivegear.com/gear/images/size_chart_Mens.gif
Womens: http://www.justdivegear.com/gear/images/size_chart_Womens.gif

Shoturtle: They are actually manufactured in China with Sharkeys Specifications.

Great to have some questions feel free to ask any other questions. I will be happy to answer them.

[BNow0707]

YEP thats right but i'm cheap so i can't pay return shipping on any of them LOL:rofl3: So ill just keep them here, haha.

Definately let me know when you get the accessories in. Its amazing that the exact same accessories that are on the Sharkey's web page sell for double even triple or more on certain .COM SCUBA websites. But i wont name any names. :D

[Just Dive Gear]

I agree it is crazy...

[Clanggedin]

What happened to the site? I was going to make a purchase, but the website is gone and it was asking for login info.

[truck1]

Looks like they are having a server issue.

[Reno1979]

Totally vanished? WT?

[Just Dive Gear]

Hey guys sorry about that. I am working with Sharkeys Just Dive. They are actually Liquidating there stock... :( So I am seeing what all can be done and what our options are. I will keep you updated...

[Saltwater Junky]

Arrrgh...was looking forward to see the site. A shorty would be nice this summer.

[Saltwater Junky]

Website is requiring a logon. Suppose the parent company is still having server problems.

I talked to them yesterday. Sharkey's (just dive's distributor) is liquidating their stock, which in turns causes Justdivegear to shut their doors.

However, you can send Justdivegear a PM and request a suit, if it's available I'm sure he'd sell you one.

[Just Dive Gear]

Hey guys. Frank is right. Sharkeys is liquidating there stock. This was unfortunate because we were starting to sell some suits. If you send me a PM I might be able to get you a suit. Just let me know. :)

[adrisen]

The website requires a login to access.

[divebri]

What does all this mean, exactly????

Everyone liquidates their inventory. It's called commerce. But LIQUIDATING implies they're shutting down production, and calling it quits. Is that the case?????

Are you going out of business, finding another supplier, what?????

And did everyone that paid for one get a suit?????

I'm having a hard time understanding.

Same here. How does the manufacture liquidating cause the site to go down? :confused:

[Clanggedin]

I believe he shut his site down because he didn't want to take orders and then not be able to fill it.

[Debraw]

I once got a hold of a manufacturer from China about three years ago that had a great website and sold all the gear that I saw on Sharkey's website. Yeah they were great prices but you had to order a container of product to make it worthwhile for the shipping, time frame, etc. They were really great prices. Wetsuits as low as $20. You had to order 500plus of the same size, color, etc. I like the comments you get what you pay for because as with any product you purchase from over seas it passes through a lot of hands and everyone adds there markup. $120 to $180 for that $20 suit is about right.

[diver 85]

To throw something out ......here's a good deal from Divers Direct .....lol, almost a full @ $40 & EVO has a lifetime warranty.....

EVO Mens 3mm Jacket Shorty Wetsuit at Divers Direct - Scuba gear & equipment online dive catalog! (http://www.diversdirect.com/scripts/ecatalogisapi.dll/Item?Item=32807&Group=128&Template=9990000096000999&desc=EVO%20Mens%203mm%20Jacket%20Shorty%20Wetsuit)

[Just Dive Gear]

I wanted to get on here and answer some of the questions that are posted.

Divebri: I am working with Sharkeys to see what the deal is but since they are shutting down it will be more difficult for me to continue selling suits. Bare, Henderson and a few others require you to have a dive shop in order to sell. We don’t have a dive shop and that is one of the ways we were able to offer such great prices. Also everyone that paid for a suit did get one. I made sure of that. If I can find another supplier than I will re-open the store.

Fish Food: The reason is because of the deal we had with sharkeys about products.

Clanggedin: I wish that was the case. With them liquidating it is more difficult keep the correct sizes in stock so that is the reason I had to shut the store for now.

Debraw: You are correct that is why I was dealing with Sharkeys they actually purchased directly from the manufacturer in China so the mark up was very low and it had there branding on them.

Diver 85: You are right that does look like a good deal.

If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask. I am usually faster to respond to PM because they notify me when I have an email.

Thanks for all your comments.

[divebri]

and I'm glad that, if what you say is true, no fellow divers are going to be out anything. You go into business, repping one supplier, and your existence is unfortunately wrapped into that supplier. Once they go under, your existence is over.
My whole issue with your company was the way it was repped at Scubadiving. FrankC420 is naieve (read: an idiot) if he thinks that your company's incredible prices, unbelievable service, terrible website, unsecured checkout, and other red flags didn't merit some hesitancy on an informed, cautious consumer's part. I suspect he might be so dumb he's probably been the victim of a Nigerian scam. His calling me rude was uncalled for and regrettably all I can say is I was right, you're out of business. The fact that you haven't screwed any consumers is a testament to your ethics, but it certainly could have happened. FrankC420 needs to quit smoking so much 420, if ya know what I mean. Contrary to what Mr. 420 thinks, I appreciate a heads-up from my fellow divers, and I suspect most others do as well. It's a small family.

I want you to know I have no hard feelings, you took a risk, spent some time and money and lost, it could have been a nice deal for everyone, yourself included. If you start another business or can resurrect this one, I wish you well again. As a consumer, I search for deals with reputable companies all the time. I have to say that your posts about your troubles appear to be honest, and I appreciate that. In fact, if you do start another business dive-related, I would be interested to hear about it. If my needs meet your goods, we might do some business. Just start of a little less suspiciously, OK?

[BNow0707]

The fellas losing his supplier for a bussiness he started and all you can do is boast about how you were "right" (as you call it) that there is real class act.

[diver 85]

Hopefully rig diving off the coast of Mississippi. Weather report is showing 3-4 footers though :11:


Just getting to read thru this post & frank, '3-4 footers' is a pretty good report, we go with that 100% of the time we get that sea report, that isn't a swimming pool you're entering......

[Just Dive Gear]

I appreciate everybodys comments.

DiveBri: I do appreciate your comments however there is no reason to hash on Frankc he actually recieved suits, reviewed them and liked them. He was a good customer.

I am sad to this business go. I have a few divers that have sent me PMs about suits they would like to order. I am still looking into getting those for you.

[frankc420]

420 happens to be my birthday, so I guess your the idiot now.

Go back to your cave and finish your hybernation. :lotsalove:

Making personal attacks toward me shows your ignorance, enough said.

And btw, his site was secure, I don't know what YOU were smoking. Because someone doesn't spend thousands of dollars to make a top notch website, I guess that makes them shady. Because their secure checkout wasn't 100% complete day one, I guess that makes them shady. Because someone from their company made a retarded post, I guess that makes them shady.

I like shade, keeps me cool in the summer. I'm enjoying my wetsuit, how about you?

[divebri]

I replieid in a soft tone, and YOU called me rude?

YOU began the personal attacks, not ME.
I take no joy in your demise, JDG. I wish you would have made it, especially when something like what caused your problem is, essentially, beyond your control.

I meant the rest of the post. I wish you luck in the future, and I am indeed sad that you weren't able to make it in this venture. It would have been nice for everyone.

But I was insulted by FrankC420's attack on me initially when I posted my warning (opinion) and was called the scuba police and rude. I believe he compared my post to running away from a traffic accident, only coming back and backing over the victim. Nice.

[frankc420]

If you were to read back what you said in the initial argument, you would see how I would think you were being rude. There's a difference between helping divers out by saying, "he's a new business, be careful" and "his sites ugly, it's not secure, he is probably shady, beware, BEWARE" - In my eyes, thats what you were saying, and to me to judge the book by its cover is rude.

The fact that even after you bashed his company you posted AGAIN doing the same thing again, that's where my backing over your victim scenario came into play.

I'm done with this conversation, it's wasting my time and all of the readers time.

Man it is getting heated in here. I do appreciate everybody in this forum. I wish it would of turned out differently for the business. I was excited about possibly being able to get in more suits next year to sell, but that does not look like the case. :(

I do appreciate everybody who purchase a suit from me and I hope you enjoy the suits. Also I am still trying to find out about the suits some of you asked about. I might be able to get those for you. I should know at least by next week. :)

[frankc420]

divebri and myself have resolved our issues via PM.

JDG, you may now continue with your regularly scheduled program! :D

I'll tend to you in person! :no

[Just Dive Gear]

lol.. you guys crack me up...

[rcsoar4fun]

I got my replacement wetsuit, after the first one was too big. Firstly I have to say customer service was first rate! Its too bad about the supplier issue, we could really use someone like JDG.

About the wetsuit... The quality is good, the fit is good, more importantly the seam consistency was good. Its getting warm enough around here I might not get to try it for diving any time soon, but I might give it a shot in the pool tonight. :) I will say I was a little unimpressed with the knee guards. They are more or less silkscreened on. Not a big deal unless you are diving in a rocky lake that requires kneeling a lot. Otherwise a heck of a deal.

[Just Dive Gear]

rcsoar4fun: I am happy to hear you received the second suit. I do agree about the knee pads some suits have a better knee pad than others. I appreciate your complements and thanks for purchasing a suit. :)

[Just Dive Gear]

Ok guys just wanted to touch base I have received a few emails about purchasing suits. Let me know if any of you are interested in a suit and I will see what I can do. You can view the suits at Sharkeys Locker (http://www.sharkeyslocker.com/Scuba_Wetsuits.html)

Also on a side note if you know of any dive shops that might be interested in about 500+ wetsuits let me know. I told sharkeys that I would post on here and see if anybody can help with the liquidation. Sharkeys would give you a small commission for the sell if they bought the entire lot.

[Just Dive Gear]

To add to that if you do know somebody send me a PM so we can discuss. :)

[diver918]

Having trouble with the website, it's asking for a log on?? Email sent..

[BNow0707]

JDG-i'm still lookin for wetsuits in those sizes i sent you a week or so ago. If you need the sizes again i can PM them to you. Thanks alot.

[prskate2]

It says I need a username and a password to get onto your site?!?!?

[scubadale]

I had to click on the link for Sharkeys Locker in post 116.

PM sent to OP

500+ the only retailer interested in those numbers is LeisurePro.

[BNow0707]

Guys he took his website down , hence the "login" requests, because sharkey's is liquidating their inventory. If you want a suit go to the sharkey's website pick the style and size and send a PM to Just Dive Gear and he'll see what he can get for you.

[CAGSCUBA]

Do you have womens size 2 in stock?

[Xefe]

Hope all goes well for you

[Just Dive Gear]

Sorry I have been out of town the last few days.

BNow0707: Go ahead and send me a PM with the sizes and style you would like and I will see what I can do.


Bnow is correct we took the site down due to the liquidation. If you send me a PM with the style and size you would like I can see what I can do.

Shoturtle: Sharkeys Might be willing to give a commission on 100 wetsuit sell. Let me know if you have anybody interested and the number of suits they would like and I can let you know what Sharkeys can do.

CAGSCUBA: I am not sure what size a 2 would be but he does have S, M, L, XL, XXL suits available. You can view the size chart at: Sharkeys Locker - Size Chart (http://www.sharkeyslocker.com/Size_Chart.html)

Xefe: Thanks I hope so too. I appreciate the great response from all the divers on this site. This is a great site to be a part of.

If you have any other questions done hesitate to send me a PM.

Best Regards
Just Dive Gear

I know this is an old post, but Sharkey's is not indicating on their site that they are going out of business. In Fact they are still advertising their ability to supply resellers as a wholesale supplier. What gives are they still closing or did they decide to stay open?

[Just Dive Gear]

yea they are going out of business they just have not updated there site to reflect that. I will talk to them and let them know they need to do that.

[AlaskaDiver]

Do you have womens size 2 in stock?

I was loking for the same size! From the chart it looks as though Women's Small is actually a size 6 (U.S.). I am assuming that I'd need an XS or an XXS.

[prskate2]

Your like on your sig for the store doesn't work..

[Just Dive Gear]

Sorry I have not removed the link yet. If you are interested in a suit just send me a PM I will see what I can do. :)

[ReelDuel]

THe Sharkey site works but the Justdive site does not. I do not find pricing anywhere. What brand of neoprene is used to make these suits? Are the knees reinforced or as I read painted on? Are any of these models front zipper??

[Just Dive Gear]

Hey guys... .Just wanted to touch base. I am back from South Padre had a good time. I am sorry if I have not answered any emails this last week. I will do my best to answer your emails.

Also I talked to Sharkeys and he is having a hard time selling the lot. So he said he might let me just reopen the store and sell to individuals again. Which means I will be able to sell them at low prices again. I will keep you posted on this.

[Just Dive Gear]

Ok here is the update. I have my ebay store up and running. If you are wanting a womens suit you will have to email me. I dont have those up yet.

eBay Store - Just Dive Gear: Mens Wetsuits (http://stores.ebay.com/Just-Dive-Gear)

Sharkeys is still trying to sell the lot so this could end at anytime. Just wanted to give you all a heads up. Thank you for your support. :)
