I received my wetsuit today. Great fit and great service.  I'm very pleased. Thank you
Cathy (USA)

Hi Ken,
I guess you're back to Ice diving now...It's going to be 88F here tomorrow, and the water in Med is still 62 the dry suit becomes a wet suit even before I get to the water!You should try this once - then you'll learn to love your snow :)))

Sorry for not writing before - my head was a bit busy during the work days and my hands where away from computer during the weekend. I've received the package in the last week of February - everything is
as promised, I'm very happy :)

I've never used the closed circuit lift bag before -  it's amazing how comfortable it is!!!!!! In simulated BCD failure it was just like having another wing under the belly - so easy to control the trim and the buoyancy!

Thank you very much - I guess it was not my last order with you :)

All the best
Evgeni (Israel)


Hi,
I'm not sure if I ever said "thank you" for all your help, so I thought I'd send it along now.
Take care,
Kathy (Canada)


Thanks Ken,

I must say that your communication and service are fantastic - Good luck in getting to #1 Halcyon dealer. You are already there in my book!
Cheers
Darren (Australia)

Hi Ken,

 
Some positive feedback.
Thought that you'd like to know that the package just turned up at my desk.  Looks like the USPS service has been pretty good. 
 regards,
 Chris (Australia)

Thank you much for such a quick response!  It came in late today and it’s awesome.  Thank you so much.  You have definitely got a new & lifelong customer.  Have a great New Year!

Rosie (Georgia)


Thank for my swim skin it is my first of this kind of wet suit. I like my swimming all year round and i live near a lake that i swim in the summer. I now can swim in the winter hear in California.

Jerry - (California)


I wanted to thank you for you excellence in service. The wetsuit I purchased is for my daughter, and the first one being to big I hand to exchange for a smaller size.  The turn around time was fast, and she will be so happy to see it under the Christmas tree. Thank you again.  Please be assured that we will tell our friends in our triathlete community about your website.

Hall of Praise: No single anecdote is grounds for putting a merchant in Retail Ink's Hall of Fame. But when a reader offers a particularly telling example of good service, the deserving retailer will find the praise excerpted here.

Patti Wolf of San Jose read last week's column about non-responsive online retailers and agreed that she has had "many negative experiences" of that kind. Then she added:

"But I've also had a very positive experience with one online retailer - Seatasea Watersports (www.seatasea.com).

"After a local search for a wetsuit proved fruitless, I, in desperation, went online. I chose www.seatasea.com. based solely on their merchandise and price. I needed a wetsuit in a week, and noted this in the comment section of the checkout process.

"A rep from Seatasea called me the day after I placed my order, and expressed concern about the week turnaround from Iowa to California. We talked shipping options, and he advocated priority mail instead of the more expensive UPS 2nd Day or overnight, based on prior experience. The priority cost turned out to be the same cost as Seatasea regular shipping - a flat $7 no matter what the shipping weight.

"I received my wetsuit on time."

A second buying experience also went well for Wolf, who has been steering others to the site.


Hi Jim
Just wanted to let you know that I got back from my Belize trip and I am officially a scuba diver!  We went to Amber Gris Caye and it was absolutely amazing, the diving was great and the dive shop we worked with was awesome.  We did a night dive which was AWESOME, and ended up going to the blue hole which was AMAZING!!  If you haven't done it I suggest doing it.  It took us 3 hours to get there, and we had to leave at 5 in the morning so that part sucked but the diving was great.  It was my first dive that I actually went down that far (130ft) so I was a little scared at first but once I got down there it was great.  On the way up we had 8 coral reef sharks circling around on the top of us that was enough to almost make me loose it but it was truly a sight to see.  Then on another dive I got to hold a nurse shark which was awesome. 

Anyway just wanted to let you know that it went well and I appreciate all the help you gave me in the class.  Hope to see you at Eggys some time soon, have a great day!

Melissa (Iowa)


Danette  - Thank you so much………I cant believe the outstanding service.  I will UPS the return suit Wednesday if that’s ok.  Looking forward to using my new wet suit as the water temp is dropping even in San Diego.  Again thank you so much and will be sure to pass this on to others……….S/geo - San Diego


I just wanted to thank Ken and Seatasea Watersports Center for the terrific customer service. I appreciate the job Ken did to get my equipment to me when I needed it in a hurry!  You guys run a great operation! Thanks again,  Dennis (Ohio)


I'm a new diver, just did my OW course a little over a year ago,  heading toward some tech diving if I ever get my skills down.  I  found you guys early on, ordered my first BP/W from you, lots of  little things.  Just
wanted to say thanks for the continuing rapid  service and helpful staff. I can't say that I'd ever want to live in  the Midwest again, but it would  be nice having you around the corner.  (The new Halcyon stage SPG is very  nice, compact and readable.) Ron


You rule!!  Great response time and totally professional. I order another wetsuit (on-line from a website that shall remain nameless) on Tuesday and was informed that the item was sold out...  2 weeks ago!!
Best Regards, Brian


Ken, I just wanted to thank you for the excellent customer service.  Unfortunately, one would be hard
pressed to find a company willing to provide the updates you and yours did with my wetsuit order.  I received the shipment yesterday and low and behold, you also sent the back-ordered black race belt,
not the blue one we had discussed.  So once again, THANKS!  You guys will be at the top of my
recommendation list  - Tyler


To Everyone at Seatasea,Haley and I just got back from Cabo,Mexico diving in the Sea of Cortez.It was AWESOME! THANK YOU for making it possible.
RICK and Haley. (Iowa City, IA)

Just wanted to thank you all for my shorty q-roo i got in time for my
 triathlon last sunday.
 my skeptic self thought it was too small, etc., but the chart did not lie! and a darn good price.

thanks again.
Nick - Plantation, Fla.


I went on a cruise and went diving this weekend in the Bahamas.  Thanks for  your class I was able to do it and not panic.  It was great to be able to conquer my fear.  I even went by myself because my daughter did not want to dive.We are going on a cruise again and it will be in Montego Bay, Jamaica.Georgetown, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico.  Should we just book through the ship for scuba diving or do you have some dive shops we can sign up with for these locations.
Thanks again for your great classes.

Trang (Cedar Rapids)


Seatasea Staff,I can't thank all of you enough for your patients,time and support you gave me in class.Because of you I was able to accomplish a life long dream of becoming a certified scuba diver.
THANK YOU! RICK (Iowa City)

Ken

 
Thanks for your kindness and great service hope we can do a trip soon or perhaps join one of yours someday soon.
 
 Charlie (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)

Ken, Jim, Mark,Bill, Jennifer, and all,

 
I just wanted to thank you ALL again for your encouragement, support, patience, and understanding in helping me successfully complete my scuba certification. The very first time in the pool my fear, anxiety, and panic was almost crippling.  For a short time I didn't think I could do it, and even after the pool work, I wasn't sure I could handle the open water. I consider it a  monumental accomplishment for me to have fought through the fear and anxiety. I could have easily given up, but I really wanted to do this not only for Marty, but for myself!  Ken and Jim, you made the open water so much easier for me with your humor and laid back approach.  I never felt rushed or pushed which eased my anxiety tremendously.  I felt you had faith that I could do it, which also eased my anxiety.  
 
Thanks again, can't say it enough. You have a walking, talking word of mouth advertisement  from us both here in Waterloo from now on!  This was the toughest thing I've ever had to fight through--I can do anything now.  Maui here we come....Gail :)  (Waterloo, IA)

After completing my diving certification I would like to sincerely thank the seatasea staff.  You are a fun
and interesting group of people.  Humans were not designed to live under water so the whole scuba
concept can cause some apprehension.  My instructors maintained a calm and pleasant atmosphere which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.  Thanks again
Larry (Marengo, Iowa)
 

Hey Ken:

 
I just wanted to thank you for the advise on the long sleeve wetsuit.  I competed in the International Distance Chicago Triathlon this weekend and put up a personal best time in the swim.  It was the first time I ever used a full wetsuit in a competition  The wetsuit did give me a lot extra bouyancy and helped conserve a lot of energy.  I was also able to complete the bike in a personal best time.  My run wasn't as good, but you can't ask for everything.
 
I beat my goal of 3:00 hours by nine minutes and do credit a lot of that to the swim.
 
Thanks again for you help.

Hello,
I received my package yesterday (incredibly fast!). I want to thank you for your excelent service and great selection of goods!

Peter (Sweden)


Hi Ken.

Wade from Edmonton, Canada.  Just letting you know that everything arrived safe and sound.  Both packages took exactly 3 weeks to arrive.  Even with the Christmas rush.  I managed to try everything out last night in our large public dive tank.  I’m so happy with the outcome, there better than I had expected.  I’ll be sure to pass you and your company name around to the divers around here.  And for sure I will be pricing things out so I can order more goodies from you.  Take care and talk to you soon.


Ken,
    I just wanted to leave you with a quick note. I was at your store yesterday and bought a few items. I was VERY pleased with your service and the size of the store. You were very helpful and knowledgeable in assisting me. I'll definitely be coming back to your store as well as referring other divers that I know to visit your store. Keep up the good work and thanks again.
 
 Spencer (Cedar Rapids)

Ken and All at Seatasea,
 
Well we're back from Maui and the trip was phenomenal !  We'll send some pics to ya soon.  Ken, you were right, I was smiling ear to ear the entire trip.  Scuba went great, we did five dives and tons of snorkling.  We used mostly Lahaina Divers as our dive shop, and they were awesome. We even went to a place called Cathedrals Lana'i which is a cathedral-like structure you swim into with sunlight shining through, unbelievable!! The dive master even told me I did a textbook giant stride into the water. Go figure...after our first dive my anxiety was zero and really not much then.  We would have even done more diving but, YIKES, it's expensive, but the snorkling was about as good.  Well, just wanted to let you know the trip was amazing and I do LOVE scuba --so glad I fought through the fear.  I would have missed out on so much otherwise.  Marty is also happy that we can now SHARE this experience, he patiently waited ten years. Thanks again for your support, and believing that I could do it. I'm a stronger person now...I was told that courage is when you have a fear of something, but do it anyway !     We'll keep in touch....  Gail & Marty :)    

Our high adventure trip to florida sea base went extremely well. Just wanted to say thanks for the help and the loan of the equipment for snorkle training. The scouts who came to your shop to purchase items could not say enough nice things about your shop and staff. Thanks again, John - (Cedar Rapids)


Good afternoon Ken,
Once again I truly appreciate your care, consideration and attention to detail. I am glad  I chose your store, you definitely found a right way to do business. I hope I made a right choice by switching to Halcyon.
Have a great weekend.
Best regards,  Dmitri  (New York)
