All the shops around here provide excellent instruction at competative prices... All of them are good and all of them have given to the Pensacola dive community... I prefer Dive Pros, but to each their own... Good Luck... hope to see you diving soon... :usaflag

The doctor told me scuba diving wasn't safe at this moment and time because of my asthma but thank you everyone for your help.

Sounds like MBT is the way to go. I'm from the Mobile area and have been wanting to come over to check MBT out, really sounds like they treat you right. Just out of curiosity, what do you folks think of Underwater Works in Daphne? I have heard of several bad experiences in terms of their customer service and attitude in general. I have a good friend who bought some used equipment (reg) and took it to them to get it tested and he was told NO. They would not hook a tank up and check his gauges for him. Funny thing is, he was planning on buying a couple hundred more in equipment from them until they acted like azzes.

MBT will certainly treat you right. My friends and I always use them when we are in the area. :clap

I don't have any experience with Underwater Works, so I can't comment on them. What I can comment on is how MBT treated me when I bought some used gear:

The guys at MBT invited me to have the seller meet me at the shop with the gear. They took the gear, gave it a quick inspection, hooked the regs up on the test bench and said all was fine with it. I bought the used gear and it worked great. As things have worn out, I've returned to MBT to replace the used gear with new gear. They've earned my business many times over by the way they treated me when I was new to diving.

I've always used Dive Pros... They have always been helpfull and courtious to my needs as a diver... I also prefer ScubaPro and Aqualung products... I've never heard anyone complain about them or their service... My suggestion is to read some product reviews and check out each shop for yourself and go from there... None of the shops are that far from each other... Don't sell yourselves short just because of our opinions...:usaflag
