New Dive Shop in Town

[ccuda]

You are giving away air fills but you don't have a compressor up and running? 

I mean to criticize here because gander doesnt seem to be supporting the local diver at all.  No compressor, no 7mm suits, no classroom, no pool, and when I was in there, there wasn't even someone who dives even around.  We walked around for 20min and no one even offered to help. 

Is it me or are these guys just "pretending" to be dive shop to get you in the door to buy equipment that their florida store is peddling? 

I go to a dive shop for support, expertise, professionalism, safety, training, and who will work with me on getting me set up with the right gear for my needs.  Service.  None of which seems to be had at gander.  Calling it a dive shop is a pretty big stretch of the english language.

Its like dd came in to gander because gander needed to cover some of their cost with their stock going into the toilet.  DD threw a bunch of gear on the showfloor and said good luck and be sure to send a check each month to florida.  I think gander and the local diver who gets no support is getting screwed on this one.

Diving in crosby in a gander 3mm shortie, good luck.  :
