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

• It's the rush that never fails to kick in each time you slip beneath the water and draw your first breaths from the regulator.

• It's cobalt blue water and seeing the boat from your 180' stop.

• It's realizing that you know your tables by heart.

• It's wondering if the shark was ten or fifteen feet long.

• It's when you think "I wonder if it goes..." whenever you see a sinkhole.

• It's when your dive gear costs more than your car.

• It's about late nights with friends in Cayman, trying to remember the year of your first staged decompression dive.

• It's when 50 degrees and ten feet of visibility sounds about right.

• It's knowing that no other human (besides your dive buddy) has ever seen what you have.

The dive's the thing. We make the gear that we know will make our diving better. The process begins with designing, testing and refining; making it better in the process, never settling for "good enough." It's knowing it as opposed to guessing it. It's about having such high standards and expectations in how we want our products to perform that we are relentless in our pursuit of perfection.

Halcyon began as a group of divers who knew exactly what they wanted but couldn't find in any dive store. Our passion for the dive led us to business. We started designing wings and lights to satisfy ourselves, but soon discovered that we were not alone in our pursuit of equipment in tune with the approach known as "Doing It Right" diving.
Back when Jarrod Jablonski was a college student living in a trailer at Ginnie Springs, he surrounded himself with a group of friends who were literally taking more breaths a day through a regulator underwater than of fresh air between dives. When not teaching diving, Jarrod was pushing the boundaries of cave diving with his team in north Florida. Robert began using his Brownie's factory to produce a new, simplified buoyancy system engineered to the specifications of the divers on the team.
