OK, I'm realizing that all of these main scuba brands seem to either have a certain reputation or trait they are known for, or at the least a certain relation.
Aqualung owns Apex. Scubapro OEMs parts for others. etc. etc.
Also each seems to have a reputation, even if its a bit stereotyped.
And further, I understand most of it's all sourced from the same factories in Taiwain.
So, help me build a map here - a sort of family tree of who owns who, where gear comes from, etc.
AND, a short descriptor of what generally defines each brand IE "APEKs long time industry standard, many designs cloned from, NAVY certified, considered over priced today, paying for the brand or the global ubiquity"
That could be totally off.. but... bombs away!
