In Reply to: Which LA County Dive shop has the largest variety of gear? posted by Neptune on July 01, 2003 at 18:56:11:
They have a wide variety of gear. Everything from DIR to plastic octopus holders :-)
The staff is knowledgable about local diving as well as travel. Most of them are instructors with several ratings. They fill air and nitrox and also do repairs and hydros in-house.
Some stores give you the impression that they are willing to give you great deals, but if you do the research, you'll find that retail is sometimes just that. Check out prices before going to the Dive 'n Smurf sale in February and you will find that nothing there is actually on sale.
