I recently replaced my hoses with Phantom Hoses by innovative concepts at my local dive shop. When I got home I noticed teh safety warning label on the HP was in very bad china-engrish so I emailed innovative concepts as to the country on manufacture, especially as their is no CE mark (legitimate or otherwise) (I once had a contract manufacturer justify the mark saying it was "China Export").
Response :
I have manufactured video lighting gear in china, and travelled there. I also read the news. If a german made product gets recalled I would be very nervous about a Chinese one.
But Scuba gear is life support equipment, I'm throwing the new hoses in the trash right away.
Don't bother check their website for specs, theres nothing there but a phone number and a brochure you need a dealer password to see. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

Hello Cian,
If the hose you have is a Phantom hose, (flexible) then it is made in China. If the hose you have is a black rubber hose it is made in the U.S.A.
