W.M.D. brand regulators?

[Jak Crow]

Anyone familiar with the Well Marine Diver brand and if their regulators are clones of another well known brand name? Their regulators are at http://www.wmd.com.tw/products.asp?classid=1

clones, no more like other brands are "clones" of them, or more really, WMD builds them for other brands and simply labels them for other brands. Well Marine Divers and Ocean Divers Supply manufacture a significant majority of the regulators on the market. Looking through their catalog you'll find many popular models. They are however an OEM that do not sell retail, you'll have to buy a few hundred but you could have your own label too.

This is all well and fine, but was looking for actual better known brand names that are using the same designs that can be a source of replacement parts.

So you've just seen the their 2nd stages sharing parts? Looks like some of Apeks 1st stage regs are the same, along with at least one from Seac-sub if I'm not mistaken. And Tilos appears to be a vendor of this design as well.

Those look like the TUSA 2st stages.

I've seen multiple vendors using these 2nd stages.
