I had a great discussion yesterday with one of the early cave divers who had associated with Scubapro back in the day when their stab jacket was the BC of choice and Scubapro made them for a variety of companies. The factory sat on the US border with parts made on the US side then passed to the MX side for assembly. I also got another perspective on the whole Dive Rite/Scubapro/Soniform Transpac/Rec Tec relationship and some of the politics behind it.

You fail to understand, it is not where they source everything but where they have always sourced everything. Scubapro regulators and bits and pieces have always come from all over. When they start having the "big box" factory in Chicom land make everything for them, then that is a certain and sure indicator they have forgotten who they are and in which case, I can buy other cheap Chinese crap elsewhere or better yet, do without.
