Brand
AKONA
AKONA began with a simple mission. Make the best dive bags and travel luggage for the scuba diving industry at an affordable price. At the time, there were dive bags of high quality but the bags alone cost as much as the dive gear they were carrying and any dive bag that was a little more affordable fell apart after a season. Quickly AKONA became the diver’s choice of bags. And the Frog Logo became prevlant in every dive store around the country.
Today AKONA is much more than just a bag company with neoprene products, dive accessories, and snorkeling equipment, AKONA provides non life support equipment to the snorkeling and scuba diving markets.
The AKONA Frog has become an Icon in the stores and is easily recognizable everywhere dive equipment is sold.
THE EARLY YEARS
Conceived from the passion to create exceptional products for the evolving SCUBA market and a desire to do more than just deliver someone else’s vision, Apeks was born in 1974. Friends and former colleagues at a large engineering firm in the north of England, Ken Smith Ainscough and Eric Partington formed a partnership that was a perfect combination of vision and enthusiasm. The name they came up with was a perfect combination too – an acronym of their initials.
Technical genius, a lifelong love of diving and natural dynamism brought them together. Ken drafted, translated then engineered his concepts into reality. Eric’s entrepreneurial expertise and love of technology drove business growth. It was a match made in heaven.
Great things can grow from humble beginnings and Apeks was no exception. Fabricating weight belt buckles in Eric’s garage was where it began, but throughout the 1970s, Apeks continued to innovate. With new products being developed and a rich heritage of engineering in the local area, the business was able to hire specialist engineering talent, keeping manufacturing in-house to ensure the high quality the market had already come to expect.
