Leisure Pro or Dive Inn

[freedivernd]

Yup,<br>If the price is competitive I'll buy from the hometown too. A lot of time convenience wins out and I buy from the hometown anyway (but I usually pay for it ) <br><br>I suppose the dive shops will have to watch their markup on equipment to be more competitive, push the instruction and events areas of the business, and be awake to other capitol opportunities relative to the business.<br><br>It's not only competing with places like DiveInn, but there's e-bay and classifieds too.<br><br>Of course people prefer to shop hometown, who wouldn't ??? >, and a lot of times I do it considering that - yes, it's nice to have a hardware store down the street.<br><br>For us that really watch the old buckeroos it's really tough sometimes ... holy cats - the savings!! I really don't have many options as far as purchasing specialized freediving equipment locally, I find that most dive shops don't seem to care for freedivers anway, I think they believe it can be almost (I wish) have cheap mask, fins, snorkel, will travel and then what's in it for them. Maybe that's another avenue for dive shops to look into. I think I'm pushing the thousands of dollars worth of freediving equipment now and looking for more, and considering a $600 freediving clinic next month in Florida or later this winter at a different location. <br><br>What? You think I'm a freediving fanatic? One of only a few? OK, OK, maybe ;D..<br><br>Fred
