So I figured I would announce it here first as a pre pre opening type of thing.

I decided to start my own dive shop called Red Triangle Spearfishing  :smt003 I figure most of us diving up here spend anywhere from 60-90% of the time in the Red Triangle anyways only seemed fitting.

I won't bore you with details of all the gear in stock etc etc but I am almost fully furnished and only waiting on a few items. Major brands being carried are Pathos, Bleutec, and Picasso. Several options for carbon fins.....and here I go boring with details  :smt002

Here is facebook link, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008948434495

Thanks to all have supported me thus far, I'm building the website now, slow moving, but if you need anything at all please let me know.

Thanks NCKA,

Matt

  Good luck with this endeavor.     What's the address ?      Is there going to be a grand opening date?

A grand opening can bring lots of people out, especially if there is a BBQ going!

Thanks guys......since it is going to be a labor of love we have decided to keep it garage and online based. My house will be open to anyone though and we will have it all setup for anyone who wants to come and peruse the items. I will also have a rigging station where I can "hopefully" work on any of your old guns, setup new guns, change bands, etc etc...

If ya need anything at all let me know...

Matt

I wish you the best of luck.  I would love to help a fellow diver out with new business when possible, so will keep you in mind as I update my gear. 

Keep me posted on any of those can't pass it up deals.  My next couple of items I am interested in purchasing are carbon fiber fins and a dive watch. 

A good thing is you can deliver items, save on shipping and write of any gas milegae and still get another dive in all in the name of business.

Thanks DG......let me know when and we can go over them all. I have 4 brands of carbons right now and 3 different stiffness variations, 3 types of footpockets. Love to put you in a great pair of fins.

Awesome!
Way to live your dream!!

Thanks!

Congrats Matt

Got any Red Triangle Spearfishing t-shirts?
I bet you could come up with some cool designs.

I am having a logo designed right now and yes, I am expecting an epic logo with that idea.   I also have an email into Amadeo  :smt007 hopefully I can afford him and he can do a bad ass T-shirt for us.

I will be supporting NCKA to the best of my abilities as well as all the members.  Good stuff to come.
