 Rod, this is true. I do other business with these guys, so know about it that 
way. My comments were that your machine and the miltiary versions are the only 
ones worth a shit, and the semiclosed is the only one that anybady actually
cave 
divews with successfully. This is a fact. The reasons why are too many to talk 
about, and mostly apply to cave diving, and the way the machine must be set up
, 
with huge tanks and normal open circuit capability.

 We will use these if need be, but I doubt we will ever need them. We put in 
safety bottles every 800 feet, and then dive stages. A rebreather would 
eliminate the stages, not the safeties, so what is the big deal? Maybe more 
speed and then less deco, but we are not afraid of deco.

 If Oceanic gives us the rebreathers, we will use them. Otherwise, we will use 
open circuit. We have rolled our permits for thre more years, so I don't give a 
fuck what anybody else does, I can now take my time "doing it right", and doing 
it with the right people with no strings attached, my style. -G
