The day of the dive shop has come and only a unaware fool would get into this business today banks won't even concider supporting scuba shops anymore there on the most failed business list. Most of you scuby dooers out there shop online. (ADMIT IT) I've been in this busness for 35 years its not what it used to be every year I see more and more of my dive shop owner friends close up because store sales are down and you can't run a business trying to compete with ProBass, Coso, Walmart etc, etc they move way more volume at a cheaper price and cut to deep into a dive shops bread and butter mask, fins, snorkels and wet suits. At one time there were 13 dive charter operators in Brockville and 6 in Kingston I think there is 3 total now a sign that divers just don't have the cash to throw at diving, there are much cheaper family sports out there.
