Atomic now allows internet sales!

We have been working with Atomic for the last few years now in trying to convince them to change their internet policies. I'm proud to announce that they have just done that, and now you can buy your favorite Atomic Gear from Scubatoys!

Congrats on that happening. My guess is that Rovotron thing was not working out very well.

maybe scubapro will follow in their foot steps soon, then maybe all the companies will start selling parts kits to individuals too.

Right on Joe, and Larry!

I love my Atomic Subframe, and now maybe I can put them on the short list when making other purchases!

Atomic has allowed the customer to buy over the internet directly from them. As long as they continue to fix their minimum advertised price from internet retailers, there is no benefit from buying online. So really, this is nothing new. If you were able to aggressively advertise atomic products, this would be something worthwhile. As it stands, the customer still has to call the dive shop if they want to try and get a deal.

Every big name (Oceanic, Aeris, Zeagle, DUI, XS Scuba, Tusa, DiveRite, etc...) continues to fix their minimum advertised price. Don't single out Atomic for that.

This is good (and new) because it opens up Atomic gear to all of the people who don't have a dealer anywhere close to where they live. Now they can buy from a retailer then know and trust instead of whoever fills the Shopatron order.

One step at a time.....

Try Leisure Pro-they sell Atomic at 20% off. Look for the Atomic products to get a nice 20% discount over the next months. ScubaToys also has some of the best customer service and friendly advice. Sign of the times.

Excellent! Will have to pay a visit to ScubaToys today. Can't afford a new reg, but I have some smaller purchases I may make.
