I don't want to get in the middle of all this fun debate, but I'd like to show you guys a picture of a rig that is just now leaving our shop:

CopisShearHammer.jpg

This is a Copis Meg, which was fitted with a Hammerhead Secondary, (with the original Copis Display, all connected through our Banana Block), which drives the ISC HUD, and was just retrofitted with a Shearwater Pursuit at the request of it's owner (the original Copis Display being replaced).

Please tell me WHO ELSE would do this kind of work for you?

When I read criticism for using 3rd party gear on the HH CCR, it makes me chuckle - there is NO ONE in this business who has all the answers (in my humble opinion) - so the best course of action is to use the "best of the best" without ego, without chest thumping.

If a customer wants to backup his HH system using a Shearwater, we provide them the means to do so (the now famous 4th cell port) - or, in this particular case, we fit it in there ourselves). If they want us to fit their set with an ISC HUD instead of the DIVA, we do that too.

We use Jakub's BOV because it's the best out there (again, in my opinion). We use OmniSwivel gear for the same reason - it's the best. We could buy cheaper parts from China, or even make our own, but why? For a couple of bucks??

We teamed up with Dive Rite and Micropore to build the Optima - to utilize the strengths of all three companies to make as good a product as we could, and the proof is in the pudding, as they say - Optima's are outselling everything on the market right now.

We teamed up with Carleton to develop the most advanced Military CCR Controller ever devised - utilizing the strengths of both companies (and yes, helping each other fix problems during the 5 year development cycle - again, a very "no-ego-allowed" process).

Our goal is to continually develop our products to meet the needs of divers all over the world, and to utilize these partnerships with some really phenomenal people to accelerate that process.

No brag, just fact.
