I had heard from a mutual friend of the 'new shop's' nearing it's opening status a few weekends back, best of luck in your exciting venture!

My girlfriend will out of town that weekend, but I will stop by on Friday the 28th afterwork. Will you be open before the 27th?
After speaking with Nico on the phone, I wanted to bring my girlfriend over to see the gear selection, he said Royal Scuba is going to stock a decent amount of travel gear and womens gear. I'm not ready to purchase anything because we haven't signed her up for classes, but if she looks at the selection and sees her gear options, then she's gonna be more enthused about jumping into a class soon.
Are you the instructor Knobles? Nico said that you are going to be instructing out of Royal Scuba? Is that right??? Congrats, if so. Oh, you owe danktex some money, he's been telling me good things about your instructing. Take it up with him.
Oh, how much are you guys selling mouthpieces for? I'm heading to Mack's --- he's got the best deal at $5.99!!! Lighten up fellas, we're on scubaboard and it's just a joke. I do enough dives to go through a couple of year, I'll buy one from each of you (and air) to keep the relations strong.

OP
haha ... we are actually goiong to be open starting this Thur. I will have to run by the shop to let you know our hours, but I'll let you know what they are once I do so.
I do agree with what you say about looking at gear, so we will work something out so that she can stop by.
I am the instructor Knobles, and I guess I do need to talk to danktex since he's spreading the good word.

Just noticed your address: 7801 N. Lamar. Just curious if the guys over at Scubaland have walked across the street to welcome you to the neighborhood?

Now you wont get turned around any more.
It was good chatting with you today. Hearing your ideas, interests, good experiences and gripes about the Austin scuba diving environment gave me some thought provoking assessments as to what I can already to strive to improve on.
I will say, however, in reading some of your posts, I believe you might be a little hard/critical on the current state of our LOCAL dive industry. Even with the national economy on its heels, I believe you will find Austins local core of divers to be friendly, assertive, and active in 2008.
Meaning, theres going to be sum diving goin on!
The season is just kicking off, and hopefully the Royal Scuba Grand Opening will get it launched with a heavy bang of excitement and a light demand on your scuba budget. Yes, we aim to please.
Just remember, this is not southern Florida:no , we have a winter
(did you read what Mack said about Lake Travis in mid-March . . . 
58-60 degrees or something like that.)
Nonetheless, Id like the privilege of building a working relationship, if youre interested. Also, as with anyplace you go, youll learn to steer clear of the snakes, and youll find that Austinites (on a whole) are more laid-back and friendly than most people, even though my instructors come across as :death2:big-dawg, know-it-all, bad-ass SOBs . . .
its only because theyre good-looking blokes whove been conditioned to eat frozen raw meat while tapping out kegs :shelli: (oh, and of course they make me jealous and wish I was still in my 20s.)
Damn, I was selling mouthpieces at $379.99 until you made a fuss, now I've adjusted my price to $5.99. :laughingang, there goes my profit margin.
Guys, 2008 is going to be a good year for scuba diving.
And Royal Scuba is going to help get you there.
