What does your favorite cave dive shop do really well?

[Moonglow]

You can name the shop if you want, but ya' don't have to.

Twenty-foot whips that can fill bottles right there in the bed of the pickup truck, what a God send! No more schlepping them in and out of the shop. I just back it up, and the fill monkey does all the work! I analyze and go. If I have to wait, I just go inside and shop, or walk across the street and eat breakfast. This, more than any other factor determines my choice of shop.

You?

Cave Excursions is my choice shop. The back right up feature that you mentioned is a great reason. Only time the tanks come out of my truck is when I am walking them down to the water. Linda is fun to hang with, and I could never tire of listening to Bill tell his stories. Cave Adventures is nice too, I just haven't been there enough to quantify them as my favorite.

+ 1 on Cave Excursions. Same applies to Amigo's and Dive Outpost as well.

Honestly, one of my favorites here is Cave Country. I actually enjoy being able to walk in, they know me, and I enjoy shooting the breeze with them. The shop looks darn nice inside and I know I can get a fill quickly and efficiently.

Tracy and I have spent several weeks a year at Dive Outpost since 2005 - it's one of our favorite places on the planet.

We also really like Amigo's, Cave Country, Cave Adventurers, and Cave Excursions East when it was open, when Rich was running it.

I am going to go way back and say Lacey Country Manor (anybody remember this). Pull around back and get your O2,and drop into the garage to use the tools for a quick scubapro fix job,plus have a good conversation.

Well, here is what I like and how I grew up diving. Learned at a shop where you get part of the family or at least get the opportunity. Bering at a place where you can leave your stuff somewhere in a corner designated for you is nice especially if you have doubles and or stages. Yes I've been at that place every weekend and no base fee or dive fee like it is common in Europe was necessary for those people and once in a while if work needed to be done or someone could help out it was thrown like in a family where you don't expect money for things you do but they treat you the same way.
Honestly this is hard to find here cave country is different! I don't have bad experience. Bering in the keys and other places you get the # feeling most of the time since they deal with a lot of customers, diving caves is different in my oppinion its everybody knows everybody, if not direct than indirect over someone else, but still a small community.
I like places like dive outpost since they remind me of my past and I felt very conpfortable for myself. Iter people do feel and like different. I love and go other places as well, bills, Wayne ...

It depends if I want privacy or community or hooking up with people.

Dive outpost is great for hooking up, staying and get the family feeling if you stay there, I love that you can leave your gear out or wherever and don't have to worry. Laying on a table or locked up at the fill station or at your cabin. Not like staying at a motel and unloading the car at night to 2nd story.
Also I love Wayne filling tanks in the middle of the night sitting on a fire and chatting with him.
Most of the others I have not been to and cannot say pros or cons.
Jb area ed is the man and shop. I like the service and his price for gear!

Dive Outpost, Cathy's hospitality and the deco cookies alone make my trip a worthwhile experience!

They treat me like I mean something to their business. They help me out of jams that are not even dive related. They ship things to me no matter where in the world I am. That is why Cave Country, Cave Excursions, and Cave Adventurers has my business. Although I hear good things about the competition, I am sure they are just as good. The three mentioned have earned my business.

I get to to see people I trust. I get to shake hands with folks that count me as friends for more than diving.

Too bad it's been such a long time since that happened at an LDS
