Dive equipment shops in Buenos Aires

[advance]

Hello all,

I am a mochilero traveling in South America, currently. In a few months I am going on a live-aboard cruise in the Galapagos. To try and make this very expensive trip a bit cheaper, as I have not and will not work for at least a year, I'm considering buying some equipment in Buenos Aires (the cheapest place to buy equipment in my route, which will also consist of northern Chile, Peru and Bolivia, and finally Ecuador for the Galapagos) and bringing it with me to Ecuador.

I currently have a dive computer and a mask, and I'm considering buying booties, fins and gloves, as well as a dive skin and some emergency/attention equipment. I'll rent the BCD, regulator and dive suit there.

The question is: what good dive equipment shops do you know in Buenos Aires? Or, where can I get the best prices (*without* compromising quality - brand new items only) in this town?

Thanks!

There are two main shops :
1) Siete mares Buceo (SIETE MARES BUCEO)
2) La casa del buceador (La Casa del Buceador - Venta de equipos de Buceo Cressi, Pino, Scubapro, Aqualung y Suunto en Argentina)

There are some other shops, but those are the two main. They are near downtown in Buenos Aires. The addresses are in the web pages, so you can find them in maps.goole.com.ar
Good luck
