Product Descriptions
The Scuba Doctor and its affiliates attempt to be as accurate as possible.

Pricing
Except where noted otherwise, the List Price displayed for products on this web site represents the full retail price listed on the product itself, suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, or estimated in accordance with standard industry practice; or the estimated retail value for a comparably featured item offered elsewhere.

Where an item is offered for sale by one of our merchants, the List Price may be provided by the merchant.
With respect to items sold by The Scuba Doctor, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order; however, we do NOT charge your credit card until after your order has entered the shipping process. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalogue may be mispriced. If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
