What's good for the goose...

[Warhammer]

I just happened to do a great deal research before finally buying an Apeks reg. That's one of the things that came up in the research.

Dee, answer is no. Up until last year, Zeagle marketed Apeks' regulators here in the US, under the Zeagle name. When Aqualung bought out Apeks last year, they of course wanted them for themselves so Zeagle got the shaft. Zeagle then designed their own regulator line and they very closely resemble the Apeks regs. That's what I meant by "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."

Don't think Colgate has gotten into the diving scene, but Scubapro is owned (or afiliated with) Johnson&Johnson. Hmmmm...scuba and floor wax! what a combination!

Close -- Scubapro is actually owned by Johnson Outdoors, Inc. (no relationship with medical/consumer goods giant Johnson and Johnson) -- they own Scubapro, Uwatec and Aladin, as well as Ocean Kayak, Old Town (canoes), among others

Some more stupid corporate factoids -- SC Johnson (based in Wisconsin, as is Johnson Outdoors, although these companies are not related) is the maker of Johnson Wax. Johnson and Johnson (based in New Jersey) is the maker of J&J baby shampoo, J&J brand band-aids, Tylenol, etc., etc., etc.

How's that for corporate confusion? ;-)

In case that wasn't enough....

Aqualung is owned by French industrial conglomerate Air Liquide, based in Paris.

Still privately-held.

Wow -- family-owned stability and free sausage samples every day...what more could a worker want.

By the way, does McDonald's still sell Bratwurst in WI?

Don't know about Wisconsin, but with the fries and shakes, they sure sell a lot of "carbs" here in Detroit!!!
