     REBREATHER List
Subject: Re: Fw: Rumor
Garett - before you sell the wheels off of the mobile home and buy a
rebreather, let me suggest you pick yourself up a good set of teeth so
that you have something with which to hold the mouthpiece. In other
words, a nice cis luanr will also run you about 20 grand  - 17,500 for
the rb and 2,500 for the teeth.
