Owning
diving equipment represents a long term investment in fun and safety. A good set
of dive gear can last through years of diving and travel, take you to
unforgettable experiences in incredible underwater environments, and bring you
home safely. It is important to buy the right gear for the type of diving you
will do, ensure that it fits and is comfortable, be trained in its use and keep
it serviced at recommended intervals.
Diving's
equipment manufacturers sell and service their products through a network of
authorized dealers. These dealers understand the product features, benefits and
applications, are authorized to fit, assemble and service your gear and are your
link to the manufacturer for sales, service, performance, warranty, notification
and upgrade issues.
It is
very possible for you to purchase dive gear from unauthorized dealers and not be
aware. For example, many Internet sellers acquire the product they sell through
gray market (third-party) channels. They may not be authorized to sell or
service a particular product, are not trained by the manufacturer, may not ship
it assembled, may sell it without the original parts or sell items that have
been used or returned. For those reasons some manufacturers do not warrant
products sold by unauthorized resellers, who in turn may sell gear without a
warranty enclosed, or include their own warranties that appear valid but are not
recognized by the manufacturer. There may also be issues with post-sale
assembly, service and notifications, parts costs, and exchanges.
Dive
gear is incredibly dependable, but it is life-support equipment, engineered to
take you where humans aren't designed to go. Each piece of gear has a
specialized purpose, and the aspects surrounding product education, fit,
function and service may be as important to you personally as is the equipment
itself. It's all part of the value equation, and why it is important to buy your
equipment only through authorized dealers.
If you
question whether a particular reseller is an authorized dealer, it's pretty
simple. Call the manufacturer directly, or confirm it by using the authorized
dealer listings on manufacturers' Web sites.
At
Mac's Sports,
we
believe that part of the commitment you make to learn to dive should include
acquiring your own dive gear. It's an excellent investment in yourself and in
your diving adventures. Please remember that the service aspects of equipment
are important as well.
