I'm afraid the Shearwaters and Heinrichs-Weikamps of the world are the minority.
Most dive computer manufacturers seem to really want to "own their
ecosystem". I think it's something people learn in Business School.
To mis-quote John Steinbeck, I suspect they don't see themselves as an
exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed Apple in the
making.
But who knows.. If somebody has connections inside any of these
companies, maybe it would be worthwhile trying to reach out to them?
