For Australia, T.D. Preece & Co. PTY LTD / Sea Hornet Diving Equipment. (1959-2009?) Fibonacci probably can confirm or correct the bit of information I typed above. edited to add link

Japan Diveways (1974-Present?) I see reference of Diveways having a product at DEMA 2016. Yamamoto Corporation (1961-present) Yamamoto began producing wetsuits in 1961.

If we're interpreting "scuba equipment" as including the production of necessary basic diving accessories such as fins, masks, snorkels, suits: Australia* M. D. Turnbull, 1949?-1969, when taken over by Hanimex. Douglas Turnbull and his wife Ruth were key to the popularisation and adoption of swim fins across Australia in the late 1940s and early 1950s and particularly in the surfing community around Bondi Beach, where the couple lived. The M. D. Turnbull company made and exported fins, masks, snorkels, spearguns. * Torpedo, 1952?-1960?. Manufacturers of fins, masks, snorkels, dry suits, wet suits, knife. Operated from premises in Sydney, New South Wales. * Undersee Products, (late 1940s/early 1950s: Undersee Novelties), 1949?-1958?, after which the company just focused on spearguns. Firm started by underwater hunter Don Linklater to provide suits, fins, masks, spearguns for the spearfishing community around Bondi Beach. This firm claims to have made the first Australian wetsuit (above) in the early 1950s (a shortie wraparound worn over a thick sweater). DRW

Equipment that has been used as a part of SCUBA activities was my interpretation for adding to the list. Sea Hornet and Diveways made/make regulators and more. I hesitated on Yamamoto wetsuits but decided to include it since Oneil was already on the list.
