I came across a disclaimer from Scubapro about online sales.  Basically they stated that they would not warranty any product sold online.  I also came across similar statements by Atomic.  I am sure other companies will follow suit.  I am interpreting this decision as backing up all of the scuba shops that have supported these manufacturers for so long, but the bottom line (IMHO) is that this really stinks.  By shopping on leisure-pro, me an my girlfriend have saved about $500 on $1000 worth of gear based on prices offered in town.  The mark-up on gear in dive shops is ridiculous and these manufactures are backing up this gouging.  If anything, the online stores are bringing some competition to the dive gear market, the dive shops could always choose to offer a more competitive price on their gear.
