the key word here is "theory", yawnnnnn, sorry, but this is old stuff,
without a ppo2 indicator any unit is dangerous.. very dangerous. and the
semiclosed makers know it and aren't talking about it.. can't imagine why,
i mean, this is (or should be) bigger than all of us put together.. but
all they want to do is put units out there... even if they will kill
people.. sorry guys, but that's just what you've got... and even if you
don't hurt anyone.. you are still diving air or close to it..
...... what is the point, photographs.. hold your
breath. free dive.. what ever, but if you're gonna sell something tell
the world what the hell you're selling.. the siding closers are long
gone.

ps let's put all the units up against each other and run tests like i did
on the fienos.. that's the right way to do it... i think some of makers
would run.. sorta like the first forum meeting in key west three years
ago... :-)
you can bet that when i get the 500's i will do just that, and i'll
borrow marty's 15.5, or marks, and i'll get the drager that a guy bought
last month and already wants to sell it, and rich, and any other unit i
can get my hands on... an run some real live tests.. and publish them..
(bet that scares the shit out some of the manufactures, oh my god, the
TRUTH!!). That's what we should have done a year ago.. but no one would
give up the units....now we know why. :-)
let's go back to that word "theory"... i will stand by the 3.5 million man
hours of diving on the ccr units... good grief.. why work with theory
when lives are at stake...
