Rofos is a diving suit manufacturing company founded nearly 30 years ago in 1985, by Roberto Scerbo.
Since his childhood, Roberto has always nurtured his great passion for the sea and underwater sports: he was a skilled spearfisherman, competing in local and national competitions for 20 years straight, including even the top-ranked national championships.
In the early years, he made gloves and wetsuits that were the envy of both his friends and his rivals. He worked as a designer for Ansaldo. During that time, on the advice of a friend who was envious of the beautiful gloves Roberto had made, Roberto founded the first “Rofos Sub”.
At that time Roberto personally drew the precious models that are still a source of pride for Rofos. These models, which are continuously improved, fit so well precisely because they have not only been designed by skilled hands but also because they have been designed and tested by a diver.
Moreover, over time he was able to test different kinds of neoprene and materials and choose from time to time the best and most suitable for each kind of wetsuit.
After 30 years the company has grown and now comes to cover the whole Italian territory and to serve several countries abroad.
He also increased the typology of wetsuits proposed: from the production of wetsuits and accessories to neoprene drysuits; in these past years, he has come to produce, with immense pride, the first technical BC and the RS line of trilaminate drysuits.
When he turned 18, Roberto Scerbo decided to celebrate by taking a vacation with a few friends to Greece. Grabbing their wetsuits, gear, a tent, and a car, they set off.
They clearly all had the same passion for the sea, spending their days exploring the hidden side of Greece: the submerged side.
During one of these dives, zebra seabream swam in front of Roberto. The fish turned, and with a flick of its tail slipped beneath a large rock. Looking into the opening, once his eyes adjusted to the dim light, Roberto’s jaw dropped.
Seabreams of every type, croakers, and a moray were crowded into what turned out to be an enormous lair that stretched all the way across the huge rock. And then, the seabed on the left of the rock moved: it was a grouper, weighing at least twenty kilos, and it stared Roberto right in the eye.
Back at their camp, talking with some locals, Roberto learned that the grouper that had so stunned him was called Rofòs in Greek. That’s why, when it came time to choose a name for his company, this is what he chose, in honor of the undisputed queen of the coasts of the Mediterranean!
Although 30 years have passed, and many aspects of how production is organized have changed, the company philosophy and quality of its products have remained the same since the beginning. First in line:
Roberto indeed has never stopped taking care of the practical part of the production and tries to convey in each suit the passion that has not yet abandoned him.
The models designed personally by Roberto Scerbo are another of the reasons that made Rofos so popular: designed and field-tested by an expert diver and designed by a skilled hand, they are the necessary basis for making a good wetsuit.
For this reason, a good portion of the models is constantly fine-tuned in the smallest detail, also thanks to the feedback we’ve received.
Big Shout Out To AQUI WATER SPORTS!! THANK YOU Aqui Water Sports for hooking it up with new Nitro Bands for my JBL SpearGun. It took Ryan and Tylor at the shop minute's to get me set up and on my way for my spearfishing season. The same afternoon I was able to go out and shoot a nice Snapper with my gun that had been sitting for 2 seasons and definitely needed some TLC from AQUI. In no time the guys had it broken down and cleaned like new. The staff at AQUI are always knowledgeable about gear, and provide excellent guidance on your specific needs. Without a second thought they are always so helpful in giving you great suggestions on where to go, and what to look for out on the reef. Hats off to AQUI Water Sports for continuing to provide only quality products. Thank you AQUI
Excellent service and knowledgeable people to talk to about diving in the area. Would strongly recommend stopping by.
I left my Li Ion battery at home, and the staff were very helpful with getting me a replacement at market price. Saved my wreck dive!
Fits great and perfect for S Florida in the winter.
easy transaction from order to delivery
Just an incredible outing. Saw a lot more turtles, eels and sharks than I normally do. guess its all about knowing where to go! Great guide!
Great costumer support! Really specialized and available expert staff.
It bolts, it swivels and it snaps! Love it!
This Bolt Snap keeps my wifes regulator clipped to her harness when she doesnt need it, and it flaps around on her hoses way less with the smaller eye. Overall I give this serious piece of life support equipment a 10/10 for saving my marriage and keeping my wife alive.
One word
FANTASTIC.
I instantly noticed a difference in my kicking power and how much easier back kicks and helicopter turns were. Love them they’re comfy and adjustable.
Bought 15’ of the Orange 2” webbing. 15’ is more than enough for my size but I had never set up a backplate and wing harness before and didn’t know how much I would need. With that being said after I disassembled my other harness and fitted the new one 11’ is the amount of webbing I need for my XDeep backplate and what I will be ordering in the future. For size comparison I am 5’10” and weight 170lbs. I left about 24” on the right side waste harness and then routed the rest through the XDeep backplate. With the webbing cut to 11’ it still leaves an extra 20” to 24” on my left side after attacking the buckle. I just routed that back down the side under my attached weight pockets just in case I gain some weight in the future. Hope this review helps others!
