Nautilus dive shop - I think the chap who failed to buy snorkel kit at Nautilus had a bit of bad luck.
My boyfriend and I have used Nautilus on a regular basis for both dive purchases and servicing for a few years now. On every occasion (admittedly usually a saturday afternoon) we've been served quickly and cheerfully. I know that the shop also does a lot of servicing for dive clubs which might explain the trouble getting into the shop.
Last time we were there Nautilus happily slipped our regulator servicing in despite a big pre easter waiting list. They have ordered in things especially for us; doing me a great deal which undercut both other local stores and the internet. These people know their stuff!

Part time shop owners. - Don't you hate it when a shop on the high street is run like a hobby? I had noticed this dive shop on Mare Street in Hackney and as a long time diver coming back to the sport, thought that it looked tempting and intended to go and browse around some time. I recently decided to kit my children out for a snorkelling outing so with specific products in mind (I had seen them in the window) off I went.
On reaching the shop I found a note in the window saying "We are here but if you can't get in please go round the back and into the office upstairs". This I duly did only to be faced with a notice saying "Back at 2:30". Since it was 2:25, I waited but eventally left at 2:45. I returned later in the day to see a notice proclaiming "Back in 10 mins" so stupidly waited for 10 minutes (fairly keen to buy).
Next day I returned to read the same "Back in 10 mins" notice. I was exasperated and considered exchanging the items I saw in the window for a brick but decided never to darken their doorway again. I had already looked on the internet for the items without much luck but a renewed search could be on the cards.
I relented next day and yes there was the little notice "Back in 10 mins" again so I went on the web and found the items slightly cheaper.
I would have liked to seen and talked about my purchases and would have spent about £60, with the potential for a LOT more later. So just think how an amateurish approach has led to a large reduction in your potential takings boys!
Regards
David
