Where are Scubapro Jet Fins made?

[Pullmyfinger]

I have 2 pair of Jets, purchased in the US and made in the US.
Last year I ordered a pair for my Wife. I ordered them from the US, they are made in Taiwan.

EX Scuba in Kanda, Tokyo, got a big shipment of US made Jets last year, but I think they must have sold out pretty quickly as they are no longer on their site.

In Japan all currently sold Jets are manufactured in Taiwan. They are not popular.

Yep made in Taiwan

The original US made SCUBA Pro Jet fins were produced in the SCUBA Pro molding facility in Compton, California under the direction of the late Karl Kaiser.

When SCUBA Pro was sold to JWC and moved to the cold country Karl decided to remain in California, and established a company called IDI, which continued to manufacture a Jet Fin.

He and his wife Shirley ran the company for a few years until his untimely death. At that time the company was turned over to number one son who proceeded to destroy the company in a few short years.

I thought they were made in South Africa.

I am seeing in my ScubaPro Dealer's Order form that Jets w/Spring Heel Straps (Black, Yellow, White, Pink, Red, Green, and Camo) are made in Taiwan. I asked my Distributor and he said that quality is still there just manufacturing site has changed.

BTW...

I dive with "older" Jets made the the U.S. A.

But I am seeing wear now around one of the foot pockets.

I recently noticed I had a broken Jet Fin.
