I assume you still have to present yourself at the shop to pick it up. No shipping allowed. No real change here. One fixed price and you have to get it from one of your local shops. They are still clueless.
The views expressed above are simply my opinion and do not necessarily bare any resemblance to the truth. As a matter of fact, they are typically a load of bunk and should be summarily disregarded.
I clicked on the Aqualung Online Store link. The website lists a price or range of prices for each item. However, the customer is then asked to input a zipcode to receive a list of nearby authorized Aqualung dealers. As far as I can tell, the transaction would then take place at a brick-and-mortar authorized dealer.
I really wouldn't call this direct purchasing from Aqualung at all...although it does appear that the local dealer would have to adhere to the listed price (where specified).
Oops! I now see the "Buy Now" and "Add to Cart" buttons. This does appear to be a change in the way Aqualung does business. I wonder how authorized Aqualung dealers feel about this. Even though customers might be able to arrange to pick up the gear at their local dive shop, it does seem like the dealer is getting cut out of the action. Or perhaps some "arrangement" is being made between Aqualung and dealer with a set amount of profit per item going to the dealer (kind of like a referral commission).

Jim: AL will ship direct to you. You can exchange return direct to them. The price is MSRP+shipping
if it comes direct to you. No shipping charges if delivered through the Authorized LDS.

Well Will the LDS warrant a reg bought on line??
I can hear it now
LDS :you bought that on line so it is not covered by the parts for life or a warranty.
Customer: But I bought it from Aqualung!!!
LDS : If you bought it on line it is not covered by any warranty or parts for life!!!
