Halcyon Dive Systems

Halcyon began as a group of divers who knew exactly what they wanted but couldn't find it in a dive store. Our passion for diving led us to designing wings and lights to satisfy ourselves. We soon discovered that we were not alone in our pursuit of equipment that could radically improve every diver's comfort; from the newest recreational diver to supporting divers doing the most aggressive technical dives ever completed. Our founders, owners, and senior management have a long history as diving pioneers, with diverse backgrounds, ranging from academia to manufacturing to consulting. They all share one common thread: each of their log books records of an average of 20 years of diving.

For those of us at Halcyon, diving is more than ''just another way to spend the weekend.''

If you ask a Halcyon staff member why they dive, you are likely to get a variation of the response from our friend David Rhea, whose photographs grace our catalogs: "I dive because it is my life, my passion, my love."

It is the rush that never fails to kick in, each time you slip beneath the water and draw your first breaths from the regulator.
It is cobalt blue water, and seeing the boat from your 180ft stop.
It is realizing that you know your tables by heart.
It is wondering if the shark was 10 or 15 feet long.
It is when you think, "I wonder if it goes..." whenever you see a sinkhole.
It is when your dive gear costs more than your car.
It is about late nights with friends in Cayman, trying to remember the year of your first staged decompression dive.
It is when 50 degrees and ten feet of visibility sounds about right.
It is knowing that no other human (besides your dive buddy) has ever seen what you have.
It is all about the dive. We make the gear that we know will enhance our diving. The process begins with designing, testing, refining, and making it better. We never settle for just "good enough."
It is about having such high standards and expectations in how we want our products to perform, that we are relentless in our pursuit of perfection.
