I have been diving for 30 years - Go where you feel comfortable. The staff at my local Sport Chalet Dive Shop are top notch. The staff at my "local dive shop" are a bunch of kids that don't know much about diving. Sport Chalet has much lower prices on gear because of their buying power. Sport Chalet SCUBA instructors get paid more than instructors at small shops, so the better instructors tend to move to Sport Chalet when an opportunity opens up.
Quit whining about competitors to make up for your inability to run a competitive business. Sport Chalet has been in the dive training and sales business since the late 1950's.
