We believe that as divers we have a responsibility to further the conservation efforts of organizations dedicated to saving our underwater environment. Based on this interest they started Xit 404. Others saw them using their "inventions" and asked about them. Their needs for specialized products pushed the barriers of what was available.Ĭombining their backgrounds in engineering, manufacturing, diving, and underwater photo/video, MIke and Jody were able to develop a number of products that solved their problems. Wishing to improve their underwater experiences they resorted to making their own parts for personal use. They continue to dive and use their gear, traveling at least four times a year and putting in over 250 dives yearly.ĭuring their time underwater they encountered a number of missing or difficult to use products.
In addition, from the start Jody took on underwater photography and after a year Mike started taking underwater videos.Īfter 1000's of pictures and many hours of video, both have started receiving awards for their work. Since beginning in November 2004, both have logged over 1000 dives, both in warm and temperate waters. What started as a sport, soon became an obsession. Their backgrounds in engineering and manufacturing were a good fit for what would be needed to start Xit 404 - it was a natural transition. The resort is located in the Central Visayas, Negros Oriental, Philippines approximately 30 minutes along the coast from Dumaguete City and its domestic airport. Their newest adventure is starting a boutique resort, Salaya Beach Houses ( in one of their favorite dive locations. In 2001 they started E-M Manufacturing ( that specializes in prototyping parts for the engineering community. Mike and Jody own and operate E-M Designs, an engineering company, which had for over 30 years developed products for others. Combining these ideas sets the foundation for a company that provides quality products, that fill a specific need, inspired by internal and external innovation.
Another part of our mission is to answer our customer's requests for solutions not currently offered. Quality products are ones that have been used in real life situations with a proven record of success.
The purpose of Xit 404 is to provide quality products that improve its customer's experience during their activities.
