Aqua Lung America (formerly U.S. Divers Company) is an American company based in Carlsbad, California which makes scuba equipment. The company is a division of the Aqualung Group, which was, until 2016, a division of Air Liquide. Aqualung Group was sold by Air Liquide to Montagu Private Equity by the end of 2016.[1][2] It was acquired by Barings LLC in December 2023.[3]
After U.S. Divers Company was renamed Aqua Lung America, the name U.S. Divers was retained as a trademark for Aqua Lung's line of snorkelling equipment.
