That said - the education was fantastic, the information was presented in multiple ways to make sure that everyone understood, there was no guilt in taking more time on specific things if needed, and once a true understanding was shown, they were happy to stop spending unnecessary time on it. It's clear that there is a STRONG inclination toward safety, and they do something abnormal by ensuring that it doesn't get in the way of also creating a welcoming atmosphere.

I would be very very careful about spending your money here…read more We spent over $3,000 between a full setup of cold water dive gear and brownie 12v compressor that Harry recommended for our system and needs. On our first dive the compressor failed to perform as expected, it didn't fit our style of 12v plug (which was the reason we had purchased this particular system from Harry in the first place.) From Alaska we called Harry to deal with the problem he never returned our calls. We initiated phone contact 4 more times over our summer. Each time saying that he would look into the problem and each time never hearing back. We took it on ourselves to do extensive troubleshooting, we rewired the plug/made adapters, (all to no avail) the system would not work when plugged into either of our vessels. When we brought the compressor back in the fall to come up with a solution, it was the end of the summer dive season and he told us that it was in not in returnable condition. We used the unit for two 30 minute dives, cleaned it after each use and stored it in a storage bin afterwards for safe keeping. Harrys solution to the problem was to offer $0 in credit for a $2000 dollar unit and suggested an even more expensive units without even doing as much to removing the freight charges. Throughout the process he avoided accepting any responsibility for selling us a product that was incompatible with our system. Like the other one star review says, the rest of the staff seems really nice.

Been into this shop a couple times, to get some gear for my free diving. If you're lucky enough to…read moreget one of the younger salesman, you should have a fairly pleasant experience. just left the shop today , and not too pleased with the customer service. I bought in 80 cubic foot tank online. it was a smoking deal at a hundred sixty bucks for a new tank. I am using this to charge my pre charged pneumatic air gun. When I walked into the shop with my nice shiny tank, there was no one and I mean no one on the sales floor. the door chime had gone off, but apparently everyone was too busy to notice. after about 5 minutes unattended in the shop by myself I began to wonder if anyone was at work today. when Harry finally walked out of his office and was able to help me the first thing he asked was what he could help me with. I responded by telling him I needed my new tank inspected and charged. the very next thing he said was did you just walk over and grab that off the floor? as he gestured towards his tanks. I responded by saying no I brought it with me. so then I got the 5th degree about where I got it, when I got, it how much I paid. excuse me! Did you really just accuse me of trying to steal a darn air tank! are you freaking kidding me. Maybe he should have been on the floor! That's his bad, not mine. Then to top it off, I was given the speech about how I should have bought my tank from him, it would be cheaper by $20. But if that was the case why do all his tanks have a sticker on them that say $199.99? So I'm not sure whether he thinks I'm just stupid or what. but by my math his tanks were $39.99 more then i paid. Needless to say I was extremely insulted and will be taking my business to one of the other four dive shops in my immediate area. And if I get grief when I try to pickup my tank, I'll be asking LPD to stop in. Keep your receipts people!

We ended up needing to come back a few days early because of the shut downs. The staff called us (after hours their time) and told us not to worry. They told us to get some sleep and they would let us know what our new itinerary was by morning, our time. Sure enough when we woke up, we had new plane tickets and even seat assignments. When we got to the airport, people were crying and freaking out because they could not get ahold of their airlines to change tickets and get back to America. We got to calmly sit and await our flight. We got home safely and easily and with no additional costs. We actually received refunds for days not spent in Europe.
