American Dive Co was founded from a deep passion for diving and spearfishing by Petros Yiannikouros, whose lifelong experience in the sport spans from his early days in Cyprus to competitive diving in the United States. Established in 2007 as Excelsior Group Inc, the company initially specialized in exporting premium American-made spearfishing equipment to Europe before expanding in 2012 to import and distribute elite European brands to the U.S. market. What began as a small garage operation has grown into one of the nation’s leading spearfishing and freediving distributors, offering a curated selection of innovative, high-performance gear. Today, American Dive Co is dedicated to serving the spearfishing community with top-quality products, expert knowledge, and a commitment to staying at the forefront of industry advancements.
