Dear Industry Member,

I am writing you to invite you to participate in a unique event to be
held next month in Key West, Florida, the KEY WEST REBREATHER 
FORUM.

As you are probably aware, today, there is a tremendous interest in
rebreathers, and many believe that the technology is poised to make
major inroads into the self-contained diving marketplace.  However,
there appears to be a number of significant issues that have yet to be
resolved including: Market acceptance, liability, training and safety. 
These issues are likely to impact all of us involved or interested in
rebreathers, and unless resolved, are likely to slow the dissemination
and acceptance of this technology in the market.

Hosted by aquaCorps Journal, the objective of this hands-on industry
forum is to bring together manufacturers, training organizations,
insurers, contractors, potential resellers, instructors, and
professional users to discuss rebreather technology, and hopefully to
resolve some of the outstanding issues and clear up the many myths 
that abound.  By being proactive, we can hopefully avoid some of the
problems that have arisen with regards to other diving technologies,
and in doing so, help establish the market for this emerging tool.

Please note that space is limited to 100 people and we will be
accepting reservations on a "first come, first served" basis.  If you
have any questions please feel free to call: the aquaCorps office at
305.294.3540.  If you'd like to receive a faxed preliminary agenda 
and reservation from please call the office or fax to 305.293.0729.  If
you'd like to receive the agenda by e-mail, write to Phil Sharkey at
WHITE.SHARK@GE*.GE*.CO*.
