i have this old wetsuit with a logo ive never seen before... i first thought Healthways, but when i search google images for Healthways scuba, i dont see anything like it. Any ideas? Probably from the early 1970s or late 1960s. Aluminum zipper. GEDC2020.jpg

I still have a few items I bought there. One of the original east coast scuba superstores, along with Richard's Aqua-Lung Center in Manhattan's Times Square. They go way back, to the 1950s.

I think both used to run full page ads in Skin Diver magazine listing dozens of items.
 
I have used Harvey's wet suits, and I always thought they were out of Seattle, not New York. Here's their current website:

The Orca was a Pacific Northwest style logo. Here is the history of Harvey's:

That's cool that they are still around. They were popular suits up here when I started diving in '74. I assumed that they had gone out of business years ago. Good for them!

where do you see New York? the website indicates Kent, WA (near Seattle)

edit: sorry, didn't see the other post giving a New York address. I think the one in New York is unrelated.
