If you are using a freight service does it have to be OMS. I mean it is just a plate after all.
Is this a reputable online dive store?

The owner of this shop was the previous owner of Virginia Scuba and has no connection to Virginia Scuba at this time. Seems a little misleading for him to say he changed the shop name when he really sold the old one and started a new shop.

Fwiw, I bought an "storm" al plate and harness from Dolphin Scuba for 60 shipped off eBay. webbing seemed a little stiff at first but it's worked out great as my summer plate until I switch back to my Hog SS winter plate with light monkey harness.
I haven't really seen anything cheaper then that except a $20 used DR AL plate off Craigslist.

This is a blatent mischaracterization resulting from an improper reading of the "About" page.
"With the goal of providing a one stop shop for Technical Divers, Southern Exposure Diving, the online extension to Virginia Scuba, was built in 2008 under the name of 'Tech Diver Direct'. In April 2010 we changed our name to Southern Exposure Diving to reflect new business offerings "
Also, at the bottom of the page, this:
"- Mark Palomba
Owner of Southern Exposure Diving
Owner of Virginia Scuba"
Is a pretty clear indication that if he no longer owns Virginia Scuba, he has just not updated his page.
I don't know him or the shop, I just found this annoying.

You're right, it was the name of the online storefront that he changed. I hope he does a better job of updating his inventory and pricing on his website than he does of updating his business ownership status.
