Scott, I talked to Beuchat today again and confirmed that with the exception of the Octo+ inflator/octopus all Beuchat regs are now made completely in their France production facilities. Any good reg manufacturer is going to look at another manufacturers parts and try to incorporate ideas that they like. Look at how many manufacturers are building regs that are knock-offs of the old Scuba Mark IV. ---- David M.
