Notes
Scubapro
Société de matériel de plongée sous-marine fondée par Gustav Dalla , le représentant aux U.S.A. du fabricant français de matériel de plongée Beuchat, et Dick Bonin en 1963. Le logo, qui n'apparaissait pas toujours sur les premières boussoles, la lettre « S » aux extrémités se terminant en queue de poisson (ou de sirène), est utilisé pour représenter le point cardinal sud.
Pour plus de renseignements, consulter le site internet de cette société.
Les catalogues des années 1960-1970 montrent divers modèles. Un modèle créé par la Spirotechnique, marqué du fameux « S » et utilisé par la Police Nationale française, a aussi été fabriqué par B.E.N. (Bianchetti Electronique Nautique).
