I am reproducing the opening post of my Nemrod thread here:
Six decades ago, Spain had numerous basic diving equipment manufacturers, many more indeed than the country has now, thanks not least to its Mediterranean coastline famous for its underwater fishing grounds attracting water sports enthusiasts everywhere.
A while ago I attempted to compile a list of Spanish diving mask, breathing tube and swim fin makers from the second half of the twentieth century, coming up with the following names and, where known, their addresses:
- NEMROD (Catalunya). C/. Coll 59 a 61 (La Sagrera). BARCELONA-13. TEL. 394 03 58.
- COPINO (Illes balears)
- SAFARI SUB (Comunitat Valenciana). Calle del Cartón, 11, 03690 Sant Vicent del Raspeig, Alicante, Spain. 34 965 66 06 58.
- BELTRAN (Illes Balears). Vendaval, 4 - Molinar.
- INDUSTRIAS RIVER (Illes Balears). Palma de Mallorca.
- BARRAGAN (Catalunya)
- DUARRY (Catalunya)
- LLUCH
- TARRACO
- NAUTI SUB
- INDUSTRIAS CLASAL (Illes Balears). Padre Vives, 59. Teléfono 23129. Palma de Mallorca.
- CARBONELL GIMENO (Catalunya). 2 de Mayo, 236. Barcelona. Teléfono 258343
- PRACTISUB (Catalunya)
- ELECTRONICA ROS (Catalunya)
- BCN SCUBA (Catalunya)
- METALSUB (Catalunya)
- TECNOMAR (Comunitat Valenciana)
- MASTER
- INO SUB?
- TRIDACNA (Catalunya)
I would welcome any input in the way of corrections or additions. I am certain that the list is incomplete. For a number of these companies I have little or no information, so please do not expect me to cover them all in these threads dedicated to Spanish basic diving gear. You can help fill the gaps here too. I should also mention that my foreign languages are French and German, not Spanish, so I will be relying heavily on Google Translate as well as my Romance-language "intercomprehension" skills based on my knowledge of French and Latin.
