New Rental Gear:
3mm Full Suits, Top-of-the-Line Regulators, Computer Consoles and Weight Integrated BCDs |
If you've been around the shop the past few weeks you've begun to see a pile of boxes sitting under the hanging display in the middle of the showroom. Closer inspection reveals brand new rental gear coming into the shop.
Brand new weight-integrated BCDs will arrive next week. Dive computer consoles and top-of-the-line regulators are here ready to be integrated as soon as the BCDs arrive. Learning to plan dives with computers will help student divers understand the benefits and convenience modern dive computers offer.
Brand new pool wet suits are here as well. We've ordered 3mm full suits for confined water pool dives to help students stay warm.
We invest in high quality rental gear to insure our students and customers have the best possible learning experience and rental gear available. We're excited to show off our new equipment.
Come by the shop next week for a look.
Sincerely,
Mark Fischer
