Hey all, it's maintenance time for the compressor. Both storage bottles are full and available. Hopefully the air test results will be back before the bottles are to low to fill tanks.

I often get asked about dive gear. And my aswer always ends with... Stop by your local dive shop.🩵 Sounds like a sales pitch sometimes... but supporting your local dive shop and other small businesses helps to...KEEP THEM OPEN!😃 🤷‍♀️As simple as that. Don’t get me wrong, I love technology. I think it is great that I can order something in the click of a button, but it is hard for small businesses to compete with big companies like Amazon, for example. 🤔 And why is supporting local dive centers important to us divers? Dive shops not only provide us with the latest scuba gear and expert knowledge but also with other services such as equipment servicing, rentals, trips, scuba community events, air fills, courses, etc... Supporting small local businesses is also great for the economy, creates jobs, and not to forget they focus on customer experience. 🙃Plus, you get to meet other dive buddies! Even though there are lots of freelance scuba instructors out there, which is pretty cool, dive shops are the HEART of the scuba diving industry. And without them, the scuba diving community wouldn't grow as much as it is growing every day, and some services would be impossible to be provided online. So let's play a game. 👉Tag or type the name of your local/favorite dive center in the comments and where they are from to encourage other divers to shop there and support them. Mine is @atlantis.aquatics.scuba in Pennsylvania, USA. What and where is yours? .... #scubadiving #scubacenter #shoplocally #supportsmallbusinesses #divecenter #scubainstructor #divemaster #diveshop #divecenter #shopsmallbusiness #divebuddies
