About Dacor Scuba

Sam Davison, an avid scuba diver, established Dacor in 1953. Dacor initially offered snorkeling equipment. Davison and his brother, Don, expanded the business in 1958 to include scuba gear. Corporate giant Mares expanded Dacor's reach when it purchased the company in 1999. Dacor offers dependable and innovative scuba equipment that is lightweight, easy to operate and affordable.

  1. General Overview

    • Present in the scuba equipment industry since 1953, Dacor scuba boasts a variety of items and materials necessary to conduct safe and adventurous scuba outings and expeditions. Dacor offers products to scuba divers of all skill levels, from hobbyist to professional. Innovation is a key trait of Dacor, which invented the first adjustable regulator in 1958 and continues to develop products that meet the needs of today's growing market.

    Equipment Possibilities

    • Dacor offers an array of equipment and materials to assist in ensuring a safe, smooth and exciting scuba outing. Buoyancy Compensator vests offer varying weight and inflation options. This detail gives the diver the ultimate control in executing his ability to float or dive deeper. Lightweight regulators also are a part of the basic equipment line. In addition, Dacor's equipment options range from watches and gauges to dive computers.

    Smooth Ownership Transition

    • Corporate manufacturing giant Mares bought the family-owned Dacor in 1999. This transition enabled Dacor consumers to continue receiving service for its products. The Mares purchase also enabled the smaller company to gain access to additional funds to continue creating cutting-edge merchandise. Today, Dacor products enjoy worldwide distribution in more than 10 different areas.

    Meeting All Their Customers Needs

    • When Dacor was acquired by Mares, Dacor customers were concerned about the sale of the company as it pertained to equipment they've already purchased. Mares responded by announcing a regulator upgrade program intended to ease the burden of equipment part replacement. Since many scuba divers purchase and maintain the same equipment for several years rather than buying all new units, this program still proves vital to product maintenance. Mares also assists Dacor customers with hose exchanges and reassembly of equipment at no extra charge.
