Manufacturers under different brand names.

I know, but it's part of the puzzle........

Wasn't just referring to regulators, but thanks

Zeagle-DiveRite-Apeks (?)

Zeagle has nothing to do with DiveRite or Apeks. Apeks did manufacture Zeagle for a while but that has not been true for a decade.

There is a thread someplace on SB indicating the manufacturer of the various regulators and the equivalent.

There's a ton of incorrect information in that thread... Not to mention the whole "Clone" vs "OEM" vs "Made under License for" etc... Very confusing and bad list if you ask me.

A number of different branded masks are made by the same factory and use identical lenses. Which is fortunate for us stock prescription/bifocal users as the lenses can be swapped out.

The Dive Rite Trio, Apeks Quantum X and Zeagle N2Ition 3 are made by the same manufacturer (Seiko). That is likely why one might assume a relationship between these when actually they are just getting an item from the same manufacturer.

Sorry my post was obviously unclear I wasnt suggesting that the companies themselves were in anyway linked but am pretty sure the Zeagle N2ition, the DiveRite NiteK Duo/trio (and others?) and Apeks Quantum are made by the same manufacturer i.e Seiko.

Maybe some computers are re-branded. I honestly don't know if that is the case with Zeagle but not all manufactures can produce electronics so it would not surprise me.

Apeks made Zeagle Regulators a decade back. Now Zeagle regs are made by Zeagle in FL, so one of the few made in the USA regs. I dive and highly recommend Zeagle regs but they are no longer at bargain prices. Unfortunately their BC's are mostly outsourced to China. However the FL plant can service everything.

Scubapro dropped uwatec name (company been owned by them for decades)

Not exactly decades. Uwatec was marketed in the USA by Beuchat into the mid '90's. They merged with Scubapro in 1997.

SCUBAPRO is UWATEC, and has been for a long time. They also purchased Seaman Sub, now SUBGEAR.

Wow... And Johnson Outdoors is a division of SC Johnson (a family company) big whoop.

Aqua Lung is owned by Air Liquide, and Mares is owned by Head does it matter?
