Seems strange that I have been able to purchase my BCD,regs, tanks and computer locally and have my LDS match LP prices. Seems some of the shops locally can compete and even advertise the fact. Others sing the old songs many of us have heard before and become tired of hearing. If you can`t make your business model work change it but stop asking your customers to turn a blind eye to your charging too much for equipment. As for who`s going to fill my bottles that will be one of the smarter LDS. If your shop isn`t on the net who`s fault is that? You don`t have programs to attract new divers. Shame on you! Training is a great profit and sales generator. Stop crying and get off your lazy A$$ and earn a living and stop begging for it!!!
