FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQS
HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE FLEUX?
Branding101 - choose a name that no one knows how to pronounce. Right?
Seriously, we never thought this would make it to a FAQ page, but here we are.
We named our company after the ingenious gentleman that invented the modern diving rebreather - Henri Fleuss (fl-oose) - but with a twist.
So our name is pronounced: Fl-ooks. You know, like a fluke?...which also accurately describes how this all came about.
