I was looking at a new mask, a Sherwood Rona. I found out that the Tilos Excel was almost identical to the Rona, and then found out that the Promate Raven was absolutely identical to the Tilos Excel. So I bought the Promate Raven for $25. Looks and feels great.
I'm thinking that there is some money to be saved here by buying these off-brands, but this subject is very little discussed--even Scubaboard is very spotty on the subject of Promate and off-brands in general. To me, it's like buying generic drugs, especially for items that do not require servicing.
Does anyone know of any resource that helps identify these clones or off-brands, or any thorough discussion of them?
