Handy list there mate, you must have far too much time on your hands, if you are ever bored feel free to cut my grass,
Should we advertise Go dive? AS we have new divers who don't know any better on here just waiting to fall in to the "We're cheaper than everyone else, so it doesn't matter that our service and attitude is shite" trap. :angry: Just speaking from experiance. Nice list though keep up the good work! BK
I am going to keep this list going, and as its now our list member bad experiences get people removed from the list.
A couple of Good service Shops Big John Can you copy and add these to your fiirst page list so they are all together on one page Dive Life based in bury, Fantastic service and good kit Bought a drysuit (bare) suits were sent back and forth to the importer untill found one to fit NO CHARGE I totally messed Bret around and he still did me a cracking price, it's worth the hour drive. His brews are crap though. http://www.divelife.co.uk/ And I have to mention Scuba and out door based in Cannock, solihul and stoke. Started off with them and still receive top deals and service. Tom runs Solihul Dave runs Stoke Mark at Cannock is the top fella. http://www.epursuits.com/ shop site http://www.scubapursuits.com/ web site Porthkerris the finest dive centre in cornwall. http://www.porthkerris.com/ And as for agency IANTD http://www.iantd.co.uk/ Cheers big fella BK
Should we remove GUE??? (now thats a can of worms) but on a more serious note I would like to add Gary A as his web site should be on here (Gary stick your link on here mate). also another vote for the guys at S+O and divelife never bought from them but they spent a good hour on the phone with me about drysuits etc.
:tongue: Interesting - if the list is going to be updated so it reflects shops that people have good experiences with and bad ones removed then why not also include instructors that people on here rate as well? Like your thinking, what do others think?
I only found this thread by accident. As I was bored. But the information in here is really useful and helpful. Perhaps the title could be changed. So it obvious whats in here
How about the NOB. It's a very strict learning regime where you tend to follow a mentor through your training. http://www.onderwatersport.org/
