Yazbeck’s mission is to provide high quality wetsuits and neoprene accessories made of the time-tested and freediver approved Yamamoto neoprene.

Roger Yazbeck’s personal mission is to ensure that freedivers always have a Yamamoto neoprene wetsuit available at a reasonable price. He envisions future Yazbeck wetsuits to be the front runner of freediving wetsuit models worldwide and be of unequal quality and value to that of others on the market. Passion drives him to design for freedivers and freedive hunters only.
HISTORY
Roger Yazbeck entered the freediving industry in 1998 as the sole distributor of Picasso products in the U.S. and Canada, additionally he became the Acting International Marketing Manager as well as a wetsuit and neoprene accessory designer for the company.

In 2003, Roger Yazbeck began designing his own brand of freediving wetsuits made of only the highest grade Yamamoto neoprene. The brand was launched in 2005, introducing the Yazbeck Freedive Hunter and Camo Thermo-Flex wetsuits as well as high quality freediving neoprene accessories. The Yazbeck brand was acclaimed and well received by freedivers and freedive hunters and has since become the number one freediving wetsuit throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Yazbeck’s history with the Picasso brands, his own freediving and spearfishing experience and his involvement with the sport’s top athletes (both in freediving and freedive hunting/spearfishing) is the basis for his knowledge regarding the best design, materials and construction for freedivers across the world.

Roger is also an O.E.M. designer and manufacture for some of the top diving brands in the world.
