Not sure what the story is behind this, but I can definitely say that there are a lot of loyal customers who will miss them. I have received nothing short of outstanding customer service.
Wonder if they will open up under another name?

This is extremely disappointing. But there may be more to this.
No doubt Salvo is the best in the business both in the gear they produce and the absolutely top notch customer service. There is also no doubt that Halcyon and Salvo have a history.
Let's just wait and see how this pans out.

Damn, some of the finest customer service in diving. This is a great loss.
One can only hope, they produce a superior product, listen to customer input, and stand behind their products like few ever do.
Maybe it had something to do with this...

There may be more to this story, I would advise everyone keeping their powder dry. The final line of this drama may not be written yet.

That was several years ago and was hardly a secret, the man did his time, rose above it and produced an awesome product that he backed up like few companies ever do. People make mistakes, his was a great story of bouncing back from adversity and mistakes. I wish Barry the best and sincerely hope he can resurrect Salvo.
I am not suggesting Barry didnt turn himself around but I imagine at times its hard to fully recover financially from something like this. 2006 wasnt so long ago and the details of the sentencing indicate the payments were continuing until recently.
It is sad that any manufacturer especially one that makes products good enough to have a loyal following based on their quality and service goes out of business.
