Hi Folks, and Rod, Before you start chucking stones at me, please understand that once again, I meant this as a private message to Barrie, but realized afterward that it was CC'd to techdiver. This is an accurate description of my opinions RE what I would do with the BioMarine. Rod, I know you've solved some of the limitations of the Mk15.5 with your own modifications, and maybe some of those are incorporated into the CCR500, but I don't care. I meant it when I said I didn't want to play the "my rebreather is better than yours" game, which is why I've left Georgie's recent buffoonery unslammed.
