I have been thinking the last couple days why I go to the dive shop I do, since it was my Bday and I dropped a lot of money over the weekend on scuba gear, I wanted to know why I dropped my scuba cred where I did. I know there must be a thread around here somewhere similar to this...
I thought it would be a good way for us all to pump our LDS of choice and let others know there experiences with them, I don't know seems like we have all been put off at one time or another walking into a strange Dive shop and didn't get the service we were expecting

. Maybe they were having a bad day, who knows? But since we all move up and down the sound it would be nice to know of shops that others on the board use so we can make an informed choice when we are out of our normal stomping grounds.
I go to Tacoma Scuba, when I was going through AOW I bought some reg's and wanted them serviced before I used them, they were recomended and I was blown away by how helpful Wally and Josh were to such a new diver, Later I talked a very special someone to me into getting her OW cert, she happens to be a savy shopper, knows what she wants and REALLY knows when she's not getting the service she expects or someone is not listening to her

, Josh talked to her for over an hour on what she might need, showed her examples and looked stuff up for her, talked to her not to me, and didn't try to SELL her anything. She wasn't even takeing the OW class from them... very cool

. Along with onsite drysuit repair, great deals and the usual BS I like it there..
So now NWDC lets hear about the other shops up and down the sound... Why do we all go to the LDS we do and why?
