I don't mind those shops ... they keep me in business ...

If the customer can't find you between that kind of shop and me, it ends up very frustrating for all parties.

A few do. Most don't. They just stop diving and finally sell their feat on Craigslist 10-20 years later.

I read somewhere that they have to pay yearly fees for fancy signs and patches. Stuff like that... That's the big requirement, from what I've seen.

I don't believe it is a requirement for an SSI shop to sell the mouthpiece seperate on the rental regs but I only have the experience at my SSI shop where they rent the reg and then grab a new mouthpiece out of a bag in a drawer and hand it to you. They also give you two mouth pieces when you start the OW class. It could be an insurance liability thing never really asked them about it directly. I know personally I prefer having my own mouthpiece(and everything else) but I don't really even worry about it for the buddy sharing. I mean if I need to share air I am more worried about being alive after and not what I might catch.
