I shot off an email to them about 3 hours ago and got a pretty fast Reply.

Good morning and thanks very much for your interest in our products.
I can send of course to USA where I am already selling.
You can...
As an Electronic Engineer I like Metric for somethings and hate it for others.
Fahrenheit vs Celsius is a prime example. It's easier thinking out certain engineering problems in Celsius because the freezing point of water is 0 and boiling point is 100 vs 32 and 212 in imperial. The flip side...
I think the reason that the price was so low in the USA was because we had the largest helium reserve in the world. If I remember correctly it was shortly after WW1 that they setup massive reserves to fuel Airships for the future needs of the military.
When Airships fell out of favor the...
I still have one of the 4 Barrel models.
It also had a Bang stick head for sharks or other large fish. I cannot find the bang stick head, it got lost during a move but I still have the gun and spears. When I was into snorkeling it was an amazing spear gun to own. I could hit those big fish...
One of the first action movie heroes that I liked. He was not a perfect man but he will always be remembered as the best James Bond and the man that set the tone for the character.
They Hydro test them the same way they test regular tanks. Only difference is that they use 7500 PSI at full pressure testing. Everything else I can see looks the same. I am sure the amount of water displaced is different but its the same type of setup.
Sometimes I dive off the beaten path and have to lug the gear across long paths that have no roads. It's about weight distribution for me during the walk. I am not sure how much lighter a carbon fiber tank would be, but its a lot easier to carry weight on a belt or BC versus a heavier tank on...
Yes I can see water and carbon fiber as being an issue. I assume they tried adding some kind of flexible water proof layers onto the fibers? Seems like that might work but then again it adds more money to the equation.
Totally Agree.
I see your point on this but somehow I would prefer if the...
Thanks for the reply. That is very interesting. I always assumed they had already been used in Scuba Diving. Do you know what the issue was with the DOT approval.
Just a quick Bio. I have been Spearfishing since the late 70s and started diving in the mid 80's. Lots of stories in the 40 years of Snorkeling and Diving. I gave up spearfishing in the early 90s and turned to keeping reef aquariums. I stopped diving about 4 years ago but am still very active...
Hi
I am new to this forum, I have been diving for about 35 years but kind of gave it a break for the last two years and just started back this summer.
I picked up an Atomic B2 from a fellow diver about 4 years ago and I did notice that the Rubber Saddle (I hope that's the right name) that the...
