NEX -- Reinventing the wheel in Monterey?

[Bigbella]

So, a message arrived with my promotional emails this morning, from Light and Motion, who is now apparently flogging a new brand of regulator -- from Nex Underwater Products, along with that all-too common word soup of some "shared commitment to minimize their environmental footprint."

Yeah, assembled in Monterey or Sand City, like Light and Motion products; but they're all a bit slippery about where the machining has taken place -- but it must certainly be some Asian country, equally concerned about their "environmental footprint" . . .

I looked at their stuff at the last DEMA show.

It looked decent. But, the pricing was at the same level as the big name brands. I couldn't figure out why they'd expect anyone to buy theirs when they could get an Atomic or Halcyon or ScubaPro for the same money.

At one point, you could rent them from Bamboo Reef. Unsure if that's still the case.

well i mean, they do offer the pneumatic swivel model so you can have 9 LP ports on a first stage if you need it
