About every other day I look on Ebay to see if there are any bargains. I punch up Commercial Diving and see these lightly used hats. What I find so humorous, is that the sellers always have "diver" or "deep" maybe "H2O" in their ID. The hat is always described as "barely used" or "dove 3 times", "in perfect condittion"!
I bring this up as a meter on the industry, and a warning to the young and gullible.
Dive schools are puppy mills! They only show you how to use the equipment. They don't turn you into a Professional Commercial Diver!!!
You young pups will know when it is time to buy a hat, when a Supervisor asks you "When are you gonna buy your own hat!" He's not asking...he's telling you your are ready for the next step. Until that day comes along, save yourself a lot of $ and grief.
