Well, sort of.
We have partnered with DiveInn, they are providing the logistics of the store with us providing the business and marketing side of things. The store your seeing should be a fully Deeper Blue branded version of the DiveInn store - if it isn't then I need to know immediately as something is broken

I see! now I know why the store looked identical to the diveinn scubastore, just with deeperblue logos all over the place! Well, regardless, it was a great choice of people to partner up with, as they do have the lowest prices around. If only they weren't in spain, and didn't charge $20 shipping to get stuff to the US.

DB Staff,
This is great as far as I am concerned. Could be the start of a living for the dedicated DB staff. OK, well maybe you can stop living off of soda crackers and now live off of soda crackers and cheese!  Cheers guys, this was bound to happen, and I am glad it happened here. Warm Regards, Aaron ps, Must be time to change my links so I can benefit DB. Is this the case?

Hey guys!
Thanks for the support. We spent a long time considering this move and DiveInn had an attractive deal. At the moment http://shop.deeperblue.net is just a redirect to the DiveInn store, but i'll be putting more info onto it very shortly. The basics of it is, the store is DiveInn but rebranded for Deeper Blue. If you go through http://shop.deeperblue.net we will get a percentage of the sale. This will help us in the long term as we will be able to continue to keep this site going as well as develop new areas and travel more to cover exotic record attempts! So - if you want to support us, change your DiveInn links to the Deeper Blue Shop @ http://shop.deeperblue.net Thanks all!

Well, strictly no...
However, as you can imagine I have a close working relationship with them so I can always give them hints on what would be good to stock

Could you put in a word for some 3mm freediving suits, possibly Picasso?
I agree that Ines has been extremely helpful when I have ordered things from DiveInn. Jon

I am having trouble contacting diveinn. I cant seem to get any emails to Fina Baso about an order. Does anyone have an actual contact email? Both the diveinn and scubastore dns names are invalid.

It appears that our Online diveshop has caused quite a stir among those who represent freedive equipment in the United States. Apparently the US Reps for Picasso and Sporasub are now working to black ball our diveshop (and DiveINN) in what appears to be a way of regulating us and how we do business. I was made aware of this in a recent post to the Freedivelist by Roger Yazbeck, President of Picasso America who is spearheading this movement.
My question is this - How do you, our forum members and as the buying public, feel about this move by those who appear to be trying to regulate how your purchases are being made (ie; how much money you have to spend for your purchases)??? It would be helpful for both Stephan and I to know your positions on this so that we can formulate a response to the apparent backdoor activities that are occuring. Please let us know as soon as possible so that we can head this off before it gets out of hand.
