AMER-SEA from Hughco Industries,

Hughco SCUBA was established to respond quickly to the independent SCUBA Dealer by having product available for shipment within one to two business days. 

Hughco products private (OEM) label BCDs are advertised and sold under a variety of brand names. If you are interested in developing a brand of SCUBA gear, call us - we will help you in any way we can. Due to agreements with OEM customers, disclosure of brand names made by Hughco Industries, is prohibited.

All items are made using the same components, material, and workmanship as the private label products. So, the items sold by Hughco are the same quality as the nationally advertised versions also made by our factories.

Prior to 1998, stores often had to wait until the next production run before receiving their items - possibly a month or more. Now, Hughco strives to have all items in inventory ready to ship to your store within 2 business days. 

For 7 years, Hughco has shipped 90% of its orders on the same day, 4% the next day, and 6% wait for production. Custom items and "surprise back orders" require more  time before shipping.

In addition to the products Hughco makes, we distribute other products obtained direct from other OEM manufacturers.  These manufacturers also make SCUBA gear for various brands. Hughco may sell these items "blank" or with the AMER-SEA logo. 

 

High quality products.

The result of quality materials and workmanship = Amer-Sea brand

  • BCDs are made with a variety of fabrics such as DuPont Cordura > Ballistic weight in black,  the most popular 1,000 and 1,600 denier as well as 420 denier weight.  

  • YKK zippers  - the primary closure used in gear bags.

  • DuPont Nylon coated with several coats of polyurethane for bladderless BC's.

  • 15 mil thick polyurethane for the bladders in the back inflated BCD - a thicker, stronger material than some other SCUBA brands.

  • Goodyear BCD hoses manufactured to Hughco Industries, specifications.

  • Our custom-designed hardware components are used on our BCD's and sold to other BCD manufacturers as well.

  • Radio Frequency (RF) Welds made from proprietary copper welding dies producing consistent, high quality BCD sizes in each BCD design. RF welding is used extensively in production of other items such as lift bags and snorkel vests.
