Don't see anything on the website yet but just got an email about it.

Never want to see a dive shop close.
But from a personal perspective, I'm glad it's not Northeast Scuba Supply out of Norristown, PA.
Those guys carry so many unique items for hardcore divers that you can't find anywhere else.

It seems that Massachusetts can not support the number of dive shops we have. This is the second shop to close in two years. I know the response will be everyone should support the LDS but this is just what happens when there are too many dive shops and not enough divers. In the age of the internet shopper dive shops should be selling online if they plan on surviving.

Dropping sales at B&M stores because of increasing online sales, combined with creaping costs of doing business and this is what happens.
Times are a changin’

Did you ever think it could be lack of evening hours, or poor service?
They botched the heck out of my regulator service and close by 6pm most nights so I cant even pick up my tanks........have to get them filled elsewhere.

But we must support them no matter what! Hahaha
