ABOUT ATOMIC AQUATICS

BEFORE ATOMIC AQUATICS, THERE WAS NO “BEST” IN SCUBA DIVING

Why be anything but the best? It’s a question that was asked when Atomic Aquatics was founded at the dawn of the 21st century. Born of passion to set new standards of excellence and innovation; passion for superior materials and manufacturing precision, and passion to simplify and enhance the diving experience. Founders Dean Garraffa and Doug Toth had already forged a reputation as discerning, demanding designers of innovative diving equipment. Atomic Aquatics set them on the course to create dive equipment of the highest caliber. Atomic designs attract admiring glances...and international awards. We start by identifying a diver’s needs and desires. Then we engineer the technology, materials and ergonomics to achieve maximum performance. Our design philosophy moves freely between pencil sketches and advanced CAD technology to achieve a superior product. Every Atomic product design starts with the careful selection of the perfect material. And we don’t let cost or manufacturing difficulty limit us. The number one priority is choosing the right metal or material to deliver the best diving performance. In many cases, this requires the development of new manufacturing processes never before utilized in the scuba industry. So, why be anything but the best? Because the best is all there is.

BC2

“This is the most comfortable BC I have ever owned! It’s so streamlined and feels much less bulky than my previous BC, which is great for diving in tight quarters. The trim pockets are out of the way—it’s like they aren’t even there. I also like keeping my SMB in the accessory pocket, and there’s still a bit of room for picking up trash on dives. Also it looks amazing—I’m in love!”

THE ATOMIC AQUATICS ADVANTAGE

Every Atomic Aquatics design is the result of the most experienced, innovative diving industry professionals gathered in a studio to break down every aspect of a product. Why does it exist? What should it do better? How can it be different? How will it improve the dive experience? Using the “Atelier” approach, every Atomic Aquatics design starts with a sketch; every detail is questioned, examined and reexamined, and then improved with advanced materials that raises the bar and redefines each related dive category.


ENGINEERING A WORRY-FREE EXPERIENCE FOR DIVERS

Innovative design and the finest materials mean nothing if they don’t result in a superior product and performance. This obsession with performance requires intelligent design, expert engineering and precise manufacturing. From the beginning, Atomic Aquatics adopted the philosophy of being a uniquely USA (specifically California-based) manufacturer to achieve the highest possible level of engineering and unprecedented quality control.

Atomic Aquatics established Atomica R&D, our own private manufacturing facility, located in the hotbed of leading-edge Southern California aerospace and technology firms. Atomica proudly follows California’s strict environmental and recycling standards to produce high-performance dive equipment. While others outsource to third-world countries, Atomic Aquatics critical components are produced and assembled here under our stringent criteria.
