Healthways (scuba gear company)
Healthways was a firm founded by Dick Klein which made scuba gear.[1] It went bankrupt in 1963; its successor company is Scubapro. It was one of the five original USA diving gear makers: U.S. Divers, Healthways, Voit, Dacor, Swimaster.
Healthways is notable in that it was the first manufacturer to use "scuba" as a word rather than an acronym; their twin-hose regulator line was called the "Scuba"; hence, one of their later models, the Scuba Pro, eventually became the name of reorganized company.[1] (Healthways' single-hose regulators were dubbed the "Scubair" line.)
