Hey All -
I'm wondering what kind of benefits you get through LDS membership? I.E. percentage discount off retail and air, organized trips, guest speakers, social functions, etc.
Well with the UCF Scuba Dive Club we tend to get at least a 10% discount regardless of where we are shopping. And since we are a not for profit club, all the group discounts we get for big trips gets passed onto the members.
My LDS offers a $65 a year membership that gives you 10 free fills and then $3 per fill after that. free shirt and 10% discount on products.
Its worth it just for the air fills for me.
My LDS has a two-level "aquaholics" program, one at $150 and the "executive" at $500 annually.
The base level gets you free air, $5 nitrox, and good discounts on gear. The executive gives you unlimited nitrox . . . it is a GREAT shop, totally helpful, welcoming, knowledgable, and a good group of people (and excellent divers to boot).
They also organize charters, trips and club dives with discounts to the club members.
Northwest Sports Divers in Kenmore, WA. Good place.
MY Local Dive Shop just give out a card that will get me 2% off. I'm pretty sure they just mark eveyrthing up 2% more. I think it was some scam they read up on.
My LDS has a VID rewards program (very important diver).
Every Friday- free air fills for members
Free pool Fridays once a month.
Free tank rental when participating in a Fun Day event on Sunday afternoon, once per month during warmer weather.
VID rewards evenings once a month -party, educational presentation, environmental events, fundraisers, dive events, etc.
Free annual regulator bench test for your personal reg.
VID points accumulate @ one point per every dollar spent and can be redeemed from anything from frisbees and t-shirts to dive computers, regulators, jumpsuits and trips.
Points also accumulate (10 to 200 pts) for attending a fun day or rewards evening, new student referral, booking trips, reaching Master Scuba diver or Divemaster status.
