Why not Atomic?

How small could they be if they could fill up Royal Albert Hall?

I am afraid you have to ask Mr. McCartney as Mr. Lennon is no longer able to answer the question.
I read from somewhere that the "holes" were referred to the numerous amount of portholes found in Blackburn!

Atomic is 100% US from start to finish as far as I know.

I think some of the Atomic regulator parts are made in Taiwan. Something like plastic or rubber parts. I believe the innards parts, especially those titanium parts are sure made in USA.

They had a pair of paddle fins on display. Looked really sharp. They told me they are still working on the design and hope to have them out next year. They are also working on a new BCD and hope to have that out by next summer. They thought they would already have had it out by now but they are still ironing out the details.

It was after about my 5th visit to the Atomic/Huish area at DEMA that I finally had to ask a rep, Brah is that fin made of wood??? Yes, he replied. This is just a prototype model. Yeah brah I replied. I understand, anyways I think the wood would be too stiff. Two nearby ladies looked at each other and one says can wood be too stiff??? The Atomic Rep was a pro and kept a straight face although I think he did blush. The T3 Was Utterly Amazing too...

There is also something to be said about being American and buying American. Love my Atomic regs and Zeagle Ranger. I spend enough money traveling to other countries. I Love that most of my gear is made in America.

Any reports/opinions on the impact of Huish purchasing Atomic? Moving production to Asia, laying-off engineer/designers, Etc.?

Add me to the list as Atomic reg lover (OK, split fins too): B2 and M1.

I heard something about Atomic thinking about putting Miflex LP hoses as options in the near future.

what is the difference between a xs seaair and a atomic other than the floating orfice and $300

Not much, just tolerances, materials, work of breathing, service intervals, and customer service/support. Otherwise, basically the exact same thing.

i thought i read something similar on the Atomic mfr thread. Someone had been asking about miflex/braided hose with their swivel. Atomic said they were looking into it since they had inquiries, so take it for whatever it's worth.

i love my Atomic Z2x -- I wouldn't dream of servicing it myself except to open it and make sure no sand/shell/or salt is accumulating inside.
