Dan Dive Shop is a "real deal" Halcyon "DIR Dive Systems" Dealer. They are not grey market so you get full warranties just like you do at NTD.
By all means mention shops that can provide support, products and such, *but*, in my humble opinion when posed with two equal options I'd suggest supporting the LDS. Dan's and NTD's prices are likely very very similar. If you live in the Kingston area shop at NTD, if you live in the Niagara area shop at Dan's. If you live somewhere in the middle flip a coin or figure out which you are closer to. Whichever way you go really I don't think you can make a wrong choice. Serge. Quote:

If you read my post more carefully, you'll notice that I never said that Dan's isn't a real Halcyon dealer.
I said that NTD is a GUE associated shop and since this thread is about gearing up for a GUE-F course, I suggested to support the shop that offers the "real deal" training. That's all. YMMV.

There are points on both sides. I do recall Dan even saying...support your LDS. I patron both, and it depends on availability, price, and where I happen to be. I will always support the LDS because we all need them to stay in business. Same piece of kit at a closer store make it hard to pass up. If it was not what I was looking for than by all means, I would go to where I can get it. Like my 100 ft MOD stickers. I am ordering them elsewhere since they are unavailable at the LDS.

Hey Oren,
I did read your post carefully. I guess I don't understand what you mean by "GUE associated shop". If you look at GUE's Website you see on the right hand side a list of "GUE Facilities" of which NTD nor Dan's is on the list. My first guess was that this is what you meant by "GUE associated shop" but I was mistaken. If you go to Halcyon's Dealer List under Ontario you see both NTD and Dan's listed. So I guess I still don't understand what you meant  I think really the net result either way though is that you can't go wrong with either choice but in general, if possible, it's always good to support your LDS  Serge.

Yes, Warren got what I was trying to say pretty exactly.
Supporting your LDS is a blanket statement. I think that an LDS has to earn our trust and support. It's good that you've had good experience with your LDS but not everyone has. That's why I will only agree with your statements that you should support your LDS if the LDS has earned it.

In an ideal world yes *BUT* the reality is if nobody supports the LDS how do you get air?
As well I don't really want to turn this into a flame war. Your comment Quote:
On that same note I hear there was a customer that had a bad experiance with your LDS to; Oh ya and I read on Deco Stop that some guy named Mark in Texas has a bad experiance with his LDS to. I have no idea how that helps anybody buying a Halcyon SMB but I felt the need to type it anyways... I just don't understand what value those comments are adding to this thread about preparing for DIRf .Serge. Quote:
