Is Dacor out of Business?

[hansonian]

i still use my old dacor but it's getting harder every year to find parts for it. i would suggest buying something else unless your getting a box of good parts with it.

True!
our LDS calls them "DaCrap" because they break so much. I wouldn't buy anything from them.

I have heard dive shops use names like that just to suit their own agenda. I heard someone in a Toronto shop call the Aqualung Calypso, "Collapso" and of course, they don't sell Aqualung, but their competition does. Dacor made fine diving equipment and I'm still using a Dacor Olympic 400 (Trident still has parts).

Do you realize you are responding to a comment made almost 14 years ago?

Yeah and it doesn't matter much. My Aqualung example happened less then 13 years ago. I just hate some of the BS that comes out of the mouths of LDSs.

The last time I was at Scuba Club Cozumel (2018), They had what appeared to be new old stock Dacor regulators in the display case, made me laugh.

That sounds like something that I would have brought down there. Friends there ask me too keep an eye open for deals. One of the last things I brought down was a 20-25 year old Beuchat Master Lift BCD that looked unused and bought for $30 at the Toronto Scuba Swap.

Holy Moly. From 2008. Not only out of business, dead, buried and now a .

I thought I heard the name was back, as the private label for West Marine or something like that.

When I see a US Divers or Dacor label on AL80s someone is selling I always have a good laugh.

Dacor has been out of business for decades now. Museum pieces now to hang on the wall.
