When is a deal too good to be true?

There are many web sites offering life support equipment at extremely low costs. The question remains where did they get that equipment? The answer is GRAY MARKET. I personally would be very hesitant to use equipment purchased from an unauthorized dealer. The consequences are too great to risk!

When a consumer examines what they receive for the retail price of an item they often find that the retail price is better than the discounted web price! Typically a local dive center offers perks only open to retail customers. A web business CAN NOT offer a free pool session to familiarize yourself with the equipment, or a free class, or trade in upgrades! These are just a few of the services offered by an authorized dive center. When you buy from an authorized dealer you also receive free parts for as long as you own the equipment (as long as the terms and conditions of the warranty are met annually)!

    It is my understanding that the Manufacturer's offer Limited Lifetime Parts with their warranty. That means you must prove that you have the equipment serviced every year to keep the warranty in tact. Labor for service is not covered by the manufaturer so there is a nominal fee to cover the labor fees. The benefit of keeping the warranty in tact is well-worth the cost!
