Our Story

The story of how the Acropora throw flasher holders came to be was from a memory that hurts to recount. It was day out on the Great Barrier Reef, drifting along on a dive, the distinct silhouette of giant Wahoo appeared before me. As I reached for my throw flasher thought to be tucked up my wetsuit, I quickly realised I had left it on the boat. An all too memorable mistake…. Diving down, the wahoo with nothing to keep its curiosity occupied swam off out of view never to be seen again.

After this, I set out to design a slimline throw flasher holder that was always on my belt, allowing the flasher to be accessible with ease. We addressed a few problems that could arise when attempting to secure a standard throw flasher, such as the obvious shark risk if the flasher is visibly dangling from your weight belt using string, or the struggle to quickly access the flasher with one hand when it’s stuffed deep into a tight wetsuit pocket. After many attempts and fine tuning, the final product is a robust quality holder that is designed and constructed with durable and flexible TPU plastic to withstand the harsh Australian conditions. We think you're going to be happy with the results!
