My new Sphera mask

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Ill let you know what i think of the technisub, ill probaly test it for the first time in open water this weekend comming, so far i like it though, comfy fit, light and as Jon says low volume. Wish i had my new rabitech predator suit already its a beautiful day to be diving,,, and im suitless stuck at home :(
 
Does anyone know where the Sphera and Marina are made (I mean in which country they're manufactured: Italy, Taiwan, China, Usa, others?).

I know this question came in october, but went through this thread just now: as far as I know technisub is from Genova (Italy) and since rubber and expecially plastic materials have been for a while a domain where italians had their own experience I wan't be surprised that they are actually made in Italy as staded on the mask.
If you read from TECHNISUB - ABOUT US and check the address of the factory TECHNISUB - CONTACTS and then you compare with the address of the aquasphere Chi siamo - Aquasphere
you might imply they have surely a relationship.. after all the aquasphere logo is an "evolution" of the technisub logo.
This should not be so surprising since you probaly are aware where CRESSI has its headquarters. Not too far (30 km), in Rapallo you also find Mares - stand for diving and some of its brand like Sporasub - Sulla rotta tracciata dall’istinto.
OK boring stuff I know. Didn't mean to show off, it is just that I am from Genova, and this is a kind of "everybody knows" thing.. sorry if I bothered someone.
Myself I have a seac extreme SEAC SUB S.p.A. - Join the Passion (even them based in Rapallo's inland) but I have no idea if it is as good as the marina.. probably not because came out in year 2000 being now a 7 years old design. The sphera (which is even older anyway) in my opinion belong to another cathegory since has no glass lenses, even if I agree it is a wonderful mask (I use even the "seal" very often).
Ciao, Matteo.

PS Egidio and Nanni Cressi started in 1946, I guess at that time they did not imported much from Taiwan or China.. :)
