Why you should consider buying your dive equipment from Planet Scuba...

The following information is important for internet scuba equipment shoppers. I hope it is helpful for your future shopping decisions.

Scuba diving is a fantastic recreation that offers wonderful travel destinations, beautiful underwater creatures of all colors, forms and shapes and some of the nicest people in the world.

"With almost 20 years in the diving business I know personally that you will enjoy owning your own diving system."

Like a skier or golfer, you will need dive equipment! At 60' you don't want to find out how cheap you bought your dive gear.....There is a difference!

Here are some simple facts to ponder:

The Internet direct sellers (probably not even a diver) are selling dive equipment at its "basic worth," with little to no information, unassembled, in the box. Can you get a better price by ordering on the Internet? Maybe. Maybe NOT. While the net may be a good source for gathering information, it is usually not necessarily providing service. Basically, they have no concerns about you! So it usually comes down to price or value.

Planet Scuba, as well as other professional dive centers across the US, sell dive equipment with the value added features shown to the right:

 

At Planet Scuba, you are able to see and try on what you have selected first. All the catalogs, sizing charts and pictures are no substitute for actually being fitted properly by one of our diving professionals. We assemble your diving system, configured to your specific needs and absolutely guarantee the fit in our center and our indoor heated pool at no extra charge.

We will make sure you are fully aware of all the features and benefits of the equipment you have selected and that you are trained in the purpose and use of the functions & features at no extra charge.

We will also complete and register all of the warranty information for you and here to instantly resolve any warranty issues that may arise at no extra charge.

We guarantee you will be happy with your newly selected equipment or we'll exchange it for any other piece of equipment to satisfy you.

We advise you when your annual service is due, usually two months in advance, and are here to honor all manufacturers' warranties & updates for you at no extra charge.

You are always welcome to come "take a dive" in the pool to refresh your diving skills or get "reacquainted" with your equipment at no charge. Those that may possibly be considering making a career either thru our Divemaster or Instructor Program must use equipment consistent with what our store provides. This comfort and safety issue runs deep in the roots or our personal philosophy and in the best interest of our students as well.

All appropriate products that we offer include a full U.S. warranty. Unlike most items that are purchased overseas which won't be included with a U.S. warranty. Planet Scuba only stocks products that will be eligible for full U.S. warranties to protect our customers for years down the road.

If you just feel you have a deal too good to be true for new equipment, give us a chance to make you one of our many happy & loyal customers before you give you credit card number to someone out of State or even worse, out of the country. Then we can see if you are REALLY getting what they have told you, such as correct sizing, color, model # and all the product features, and warranty. "Bait & Switch" is very common and if you have the opportunity to visit some of the divers chat rooms, this is all to familiar. In exchange, we'll tell you what the cost would be if you bought the same items from us with our value added services. No pressure or hassles, YOU DECIDE.

Don't forget, we will always be here for free, cheerful consultation on all the places and ways you can use your "new dive system. "We want you to be a happy diver, and that means more than just selling you "gear"!
