Steve,
It would be wonderful, really wonderful, if things worked that well down here as they do up there. Unfortunately, that is not the case. We ARE NOT the general public! We are an official dive center who worked with the official local Sherwood distributor to stock Sherwood regs as our in-house rentals. If we were up North, we would be an authorized dealer, have the course available to us, AND be able to order our own parts whenever we need!!! We are not up North though and we cannnot have stuff shipped down from Sherwood direct (it has to go through an importer). One of the many hidden problems about living in "paradise". So, thanks for your input but I would appreciate you take into consideration the realities of diving beyond the great North. We are trying very hard to run a great shop within the limitation set by our location.
