Paul, don't tell me you guys still manufacture that piece of shit? I
guess your post below is inspired by Richard Nordstom's lie that nobody
had ever been killed using a Cis Lunar rebreather. Maybe you or Norstrom
could give me Ian Rollin's phone number so I can call him up and see how
he is doing? I bet I could find him having lunch with Generalissimo
Franco.

It seems that rebreather manufacturers have been emboldened by the
recent aquittal of Clinton on perjury charges. After all, what is
"death". Death, like "sex" is obviously subjective. Ian Rollin's death
apparently is like Clinton's sex - just a little head.

We all know that there have been deaths on the Atlantis, that there have
been injuries on the Atlantis, and that there have been accidents on the
Atlantis. How about the British Secret Service agent brain damaged in
Hawaii on an Atlantis? Just a little head? 

Listen, Mr. Bullshit, the Atlantis is the single worst peice of crap I
have ever seen : 1) the mouthpiece has some wimpy valves in it that curl
up and give you a real nice hypercapnia experience when you need to
breath hard. 2) The counter lung would makes a cheap BC look bad - this
thing is as flimsy and ill thought out as it gets. It chafes all over
the cover, and is poorly contained. 3) The orifice system is so stupid
as to be criminal in my opinion. The concept of varying gas supplies way
above  what could be breathed on open circuit according to orifice and
depth is beyond the pale stupid and shows that you guys know nothing
about diving. 4) The way this cheeseball works is extremely dangerous -
when the gas supply runs out this thing continues on to breath like a
CCR without aaddition with no warning. The loop gets depleted of oxygen
and it's lights out. It took me one dive in the pool on this to find
that out, and I never put one on again, and never looked further to see
what other horrors this atrocity contains. Maybe the others how have had
one of these could fill us all in.

I am supprised this thing is not sold in K Mart or at Seven Elevens, or
on late night TV with the vegetable steamer and the Ginshu knives.
