Joe McGrath, President and owner of Highland Millworks chose XS Scuba over several other potential buyers because of their commitment to preserving the quality that has become the hallmark of Highland bands. As Joe stated, “XS Scuba possesses the requisite knowledge required to build a Highland quality dual tank band. My reputation for safety and customer satisfaction was critical to the decision to sell Highland to XS Scuba.”

The addition of Highland products to the expanding product offering of XS Scuba makes them the preferred choice for the industry’s requirements for cylinders and dual cylinder hardware.
