This is an opinion poll as to which is the largest?
Just want to be sure before I decide.

Who's the largest gear manufacturer?

Simple. We will vote on it and the manufacturer with the most votes will be declared the worlds largest manufacturer of scuba products.
just last week I was crowned king of the multiverse in a similar poll. Apparently I need to mail a check to Nigeria to help expedite the processing before I am issued my crown.

My guesses would be - based on recent (2011) corporate revenue reporting:
Mares - $48.5M
Aqualung/Apeks $36.8M
Cressi - privately held
American Underwater Products - $26.4M
ScubaPro - privately held
Sherwood - can't find info.
Also Aeris and Oceanic are both owned by AUP - as is Hollis. Atomic/Bare/Zeagle are owned by Huish Outdoors.
So your poll is flawed. PM if you want me to fix it.

i did not vote because I have no clue (about most things). And i do not care.
I am more interested in who makes the best X (where X is the scuba widget you are interested in and we quantify what "best" means).
This poll would be more interesting if you revealed what your goal was. A quick peak at the question would lead me to say "walmart"? Then after a few seconds of sole searching I would go with Wookie and say china.
