The CCR1000- it is the commercial version of the MK15- has been used by
the commercial diving industry for diving in excess of 200 feet. That's
how Leon got all those CCR1000's and where Haberski's units probably came
from- commercial diving companies. Anyone interested in trying could
contact a commercial company that owns the unit and offer to buy it from
them. Even one that was not operational would be worth it if the price was
right. Rod
