I have a suggestion regarding Roger’s position. SWITCH BRANDS. Nothing changes the mind of a business faster than losing customers to direct competitors. After being disgusted by the prices he’s trying to charge for gear, I got in touch with the guys on the East Coast that sell Omer products (piratescuba.com) as well as the NA distributor (Technosport, Inc.). I use all Omer gear and have to say that the quality of the equipment and the level the attention I have received are outstanding. I have never owned a single piece of Picasso gear so this judgement may be a bit biased. However, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that I will never own anything but Omer. I have a 5mm SuperStretch and was in the Chesapeake this past weekend hunting and in Hatteras, NC last weekend (BTW w/ the NA Omer distributor and an owner of a shop that sells Omer gear; see if Roger goes out with his customers to make sure the gear is solid). After using the suit the past two weekends and hunting with guys that represent or sell for the Company, I have no idea why any one would deal w/ Picasso. I pay 20 – 30% less for Omer products then I would have for Picasso. Are you kidding me??!! I still can’t understand why spearos aren’t making the switch in mass. Of course, this is my opinion but I don’t think you can go wrong with Omer or its people.
