Dive gear
Are there any other divers on the board? I'm wondering where people shop to purchase their gear. Yeah, I know there are dive shops in Doha, but I have been told the prices are a bit high. Is it cheaper to order from a European online dealer, even with shipping? If so, where might I go? Cheers!
ANY ONE NEED TO SALE BCD ??? PLS CALL 66225644
THANK YOU
after this month of May, I will be one of the fute diver in the Land.... lol
hope to meet all of you guys
Dive gear in doha is expensive but you still remember that Diving is expensive hobby hehehe.
Here some tips:
- Dolphin
I got all my basic gears in a cheap way
- Pearl Diver
You can buy Mares, Dacor, Henderson gears but price are high
- Marine World
You can but the expensive Scuba Pro
- Speed Marine
They have BCD but not that popular
Note: If you are in Doha for a while I suggest you must buy the one available in the market, as my experience I use Sherwood BCD and I got slight problem with the Dump valve the problem is they cannot replace as they don't have spare parts so what they did, they covert/slice up some rubber from Dacor brand to put in my Sherwood but still not satisfied I have to try this Friday if the fix is good or not lolz.

Yeah, I was kind of thinking the same thing. The DSAC has a page, and there is a 'for sale' link, but I tried to open the link and couldn't. So it goes. I'm kind of assuming the same thing too-- lots of expats means you can do word-of-mouth advertising and selling.
Hey there! Do the dive shops or clubs sell quality used gear? I would think with all the expats coming and going, there should be a pretty good market for 2nd hand gear.
Yeah, 'cause when I was in Japan, I just bought from Japanese shops online.
There's one place I know of, Scuba Store (http://www.scubastore.com), which is based in Spain. You can select your country and see the appropriate currency amounts. Qatar shows up in Euros.
I know, too, that Scuba Toys (http://www.scubatoys.com) sells and ships internationally at discount rates, as they made a deal with UPS. ST is a great shop, and I've dealt with them a few times in the States.
And, of course, just going to google.co.uk and searching for "scuba diving equipment shops" brought up a bunch of results as well.

So the problem wasn't with finding shops, just looking for recommendations.
let me know i would also want to purchase
