Is Diaphragm re...

Re: Very cool move by Edge/HOG equipment

why not just take a course directly from the mfg of your regs? getting sponsored by a shop should be easy I'd think, we've sponsored any customer who's asked. Most shops won't sponser a customer in this way, since they want the customer to buy the service from them. And why should I, as a product o...

Re: Who's your LDS and Why??

My LDS is Capital Divers... not because I work there and am partners in the shop but because our customers ROCK... if it wasn't for the customers I'd go work at McDonalds for the flexible schedule so I could get in the water more.
