    Default Made in USA

    Anyone know of any regulators (or any dive gear for that matter) that are made in USA?

    I've been told Atomic Aquatics are, but I don't know that for a fact. I'm thinking that if they were, it would be mentioned on their website, but I don't see anything about it.

    It's odd that you can't seem to find "Made In ?" stamped on most regulators. Unless they are stamped Made in USA, Made in Sweden, Made in Great Britain, France, or Italy, then they are probably made in China.
    I heard that a majority of the more popular brands are.

    You are correct in that Atomic Aquatics regs are made in the USA. They have a multi-million dollar machine that produces the regs start to finish in Huntington Beach, CA. The line of regs and also other soft goods are some of the best in the industry. I switched a few years ago to Atomic regs after diving on another top-of-the-line system for close to fifteen years. Realiabilty, ease of breathing, and from a technician standpoint some of the easiest regs to service. Just my two cents though. Thanks for letting me share.
