I talked to Dick King about a month ago and he put the CCR500 at about
$5000US for delivery this summer.  This is a fully closed circuit
mixed gas unit.  Not to belabor the obvious ( or let Odyssey off the hook )
but how many rebreather companys are actually selling and delivering 
product (to the rec/tech market)?  I can only think of 2 

Drager      Atlantis I
Biomarine   CCR155

The following are the companys I know of who have claimed that 
they will or are selling rebreathers:

BMD                      SCR/4              Out of C2 business?
CisLunar                 Mark V   
RBC                      Odyssey    
Oceanic                  Phibian            Out of C2 business.
Underwater Technologies  UT240              Was Phibian.
????                     Stealth
????                     Frog

Does anyone know if any of these guys are currently selling rebreathers?
