Dennis -

Going back a couple of years, I recall long conversations about why the
average diver shouldn't consider buying or using surplus military
re-breathers (i.e. the Mk16 or Mk15.5) because the units had been designed
for use by the military with no concern for servicability.  I know it
was said at least once that 'these units require excessive amounts of
pre-dive setup'.  Statements like 'you need to almost re-build the units
after every dive' were made.

How much of this is still true with the CCR500, and how much of it was
hogwash from the start?

Thanks,
Scott.
