So get this. Exact Sport Chalet location will remain unnamed.
I was waiting for my 2 tanks to be filled, (super slow
30 minute fill) and one of the employees walks over to the scuba section and pulls out a 19cf pony to get it filled. The pony was attached to a plastic backplate, with a goofy little first stage and a tiny blue plastic second.
The scuba employee says SWEET, give me 10 mins and Ill have it filled for ya.
I start asking this kid what he uses it for, and he says he just started spear fishing with it this morning, and he was able to go down to 35 feet and shoot a fish and look around for 10 minutes by holding onto the reef or a rock until he had no more air . Then he just pushed off the bottom and surfaced.
This kid is 17, has no idea what he is doing, has no idea what a regulator is, didn't know that SCUBA certification was required.
After his tank was ready I pretended to be really interested in his gear. The tank VIP sticker read 1995!!!!! I had to point out to the older wiser scuba employee that just returned from a break. Talk about a heated discussion between two emplyees and the manager!!
Anywhoo, I just wanted to let you all know, and if your a SC employee you might know who I'm talking about.
