Are there any regulators made in USA?

[Zonicles7]

Zeagle claims to make all its stuff in Florida:
Zeagle regulators are manufactured in the United States, specifically in their own factory in Zephyrhills, Florida. They design and manufacture almost every component of their regulators there.

Whereas all our sorb comes from the UK or EU. I get it, that's how global trade works.

No Mate. That's because we are so much better at making diving stuff than you lot.

Besides the US Navy purchased most of it's Soda Lime from the USA from WR Grace Lexington MA under a Department of Defence specification on soda lime written in 1953

In September 1992 your Naval operations got that all changed and banned us lot with Sofnolime and Sodasorb said there were significant amounts of ammonia in the batch

That all stopped when we agreed to stop peeing in the tubs.
Proving a more effective deterrent than tariffs.

Atomic Aquatics regulators are manufactured in their own facility in Costa Mesa, California. This facility houses all CNC machining, assembly, and testing for both Atomic and Zeagle regulators. They also produce and test Atomic Cobalt computers in the same location. Additionally, a portion of Quality Control, Operations, and Customer Care are also located in Costa Mesa.

They can "claim" all they like but I think Ocean Divers Supply up in Taoyuan City would say it a tad different. Heck even Hollis China in Wuxi city supply them stuff. What with there other "Made in USA" stuff "cos we fit the straps" were made out with Unique See Products Thailand

I think Zeagle may think they own China and Taiwan already. Maybe more than your Donald T thinks he can own Canada and Greenland.

If they think really really hard enough maybe all their dreams will all come true and we can all believe they make diving stuff in Zefferellis. Then I woke up and read the Canadian American Consumer Product Safety Commission recall on the 2600 Bcd's they "made"in USA and found out it was all from Huish Outdoor who got them from Vietnam. Small World or Porky Pies.

I guess I could call them and see if they be into a factory tour so I could see for myself the lathes working and the people sitting at their work stations assembling regulators and such.
If they said no I'd ask why not? Hiding something?
If they were indeed producing their products on American soil you'd think they'd be proud to show it off. I'll get on the phone tomorrow and maybe get a plane ticket, never been to Florida, maybe go diving while I'm there.
Costa Mesa? Meh, not missing much but Catalina Casino Point is pretty good diving from what I hear.

You sure about them still manufacturing Cobalt Computers in the US? That statement is so wrong that it puts your entire post in the “fake news” category.

I’ll be interested to hear what @RonR says about that.

I guess you could but they are all pretty much alike. If you take your US. Divers example in your post 6
Back when John Cronin ran the show The rubber products for US.Divers fins etc were made by the American Shamrock Rubber Company. That all changed when next they went to the Italian Plastic producer Diverplast SPA Next thing all your USA Brand Execs are queuing up outside the factory in Genova including OMS Oceanic and OPS Other Peoples Stuff

Take your US Divers BCD's the material nylon specification weave and weft all was carefully developed. The Urethane coating specifically resolved to avoid salt water delimitation and the Urathane thickness also a trade secret at the time. All produced 10,000 foot at a time and 50 od inches wise in I think 4 colours Black Blue Red. The contract to manufacture was given to another American company called Mann Fabrics. I still have the technical file and the samples on files on all this work I think. Now also gone next he's off to Nihon Aqualung out in Kobe City Japan and some yellow double bag nonsense.
Now you also may wonder where the interest in PADI started but we all know how that finished. Cronin loss is mourned and the recreational sports scuba diving industry gets a makeover.......... Hollywood style

 

[iain/hsm]

I should add after Cronin's death PADI sold for a reputed $700 million. Then pops up again on the market for for $1 Billion although sold for much less. Remember Marderin Fish LOL A whole 10 pages worth of of posts just to explain that one away to you all.

And you wonder why all this rinky dink stuff out of China is blocking up your American land fill.

So few made so much and shared with so few for so long
so that you could get to pay so much for so little.

Remember this as it's all about to be repeated.
