Subject: Re: Rebreather Survey
Jesse, there are nine people who own 17 BioMarine units. These units are
dived regularly. Rich has two Cis Lunar units and these are dived
regularly. Habersky has two BioMarine units and he dives his sometimes, it
dives him other times. The US military has about 300 MK15, 16 and Drager
units and of these 140 are dived regularly. The British Navy has around
100 rebreathers that are dived regularly. Folks in south Florida regularly
make claims of diving rebreathers but I was told recently that Brownie's
Third lung is making the Halcyon (formerly Odyssey) and a few are being
dived by Mount and Irvine and others. There are several Drager Atlantis
units out there being dived. Bill Stone has several Cis-Lunar units that
are dived. The Korean, Russian, French, Italian, Swedish, Finnish and
others all have and use rebreathers. There are others who build their own
rebreathers-Kovish- for one and these are being dived. The Japanese have
the Fieno and it is being dived. Jesse, you are being left far behind by
the rest of the world. get with the program abd build your own. Rod
