			Dacor was one of the five early American divers equipment makers, which included US Divers Co., SwimMaster, [[Healthways]], and [[Voit]]. These companies paved the ways for American military divers like the US Navy frogman seals, Under Water Demolition Team (UDT) today. While US Divers Co. operated in California, Dacor was established in Evanston, Illinois by Sam Davison in 1954. Dacor was later merge with MARE.

	As one of the pioneering American recreational sports diving equipment manufacturers, DACOR is a familiar name to the generation of divers who entered the sport during the Sea Hunt years. Founded by Sam Davison Jr. in Illinois in 1954, DACOR produced a series of two hose regulators that are now collector’s items.
