[David Wilson]

According to xifias, "Our company XIFIAS SUB, founded in 1978, manufactures & trades in spearfishing equipment: tridents/dolphins/bells/bells/knives/fishing bags/buoys/diving belts/masks/respirators/diving gloves & socks/fins/air & rubber gun/ taite rods & airguns/snorkel tires/spare parts & rod sets/gun cases/dive torches & lanterns - surface/goggles & swim caps/dive travel bags/dive bottle protectors/snorkel lines, lines & reels/diving weights/ hooks & sinkers/rods & surface reels. With zeal and passion, we emphasize the quality of construction and special attention to the very good appearance of the products, which has made the company one of the best in the manufacture of underwater equipment in Greece and Europe. The XIFIAS SUB company, using raw materials of excellent quality, responsibly guarantees you the durability & perfect appearance of its products."

The company name "Xifias" probably derives from "xiphias", a swordfish (above).
