Luxfer revolutionized the scuba industry by introducing the world’s first aluminum scuba cylinder, developed in collaboration with the legendary underwater explorer, Jacques Cousteau. This innovation set the standard for safety and performance in diving cylinders for decades to follow.

From 2002 to 2021, XS Scuba and Sea Pearls were proud to serve as a distributors of Luxfer cylinders. In 2021, Luxfer US sold its aluminum gas cylinder operation in Graham, North Carolina, to Thunderbird Cylinders.

Today, Luxfer’s presence in the U.S. scuba market is limited to the production of the world’s only 4350 psi (300 bar) hoop-wrapped composite scuba cylinders. (available by special order only)
