Khoo,

Pissed you off, eh?

Listen, dude, no offense, but that rig doesn't monitor PPO2 at all.  You
say  "It is a humble Recreational
semi-close rebreather and not a $15,000.00 life support system."  I submit
to you that anything designed to let you swim with the fishes IS a life
support system.

I'm not going to get into an argument with you regarding the merits of this
unit, except to say that I happen to own and dive a rebreather (CCR-155)
that allows me to monitor my O2 levels at all times, and I would NOT dive
that "humble recreational semi-closed" unit, even if you GAVE me the 21 yr.
old pictured in the ads.

As for the 180 lb. 5'6" limitations:  I measure out at about 5' 9", and
since I wear at least 180 lbs. of DiveRite Square Lights, and TransPac
Bondage Wings, I wouldn't qualifiy anyway.

When I come to Singapore, I'll show you what a real rebreather looks like,
and maybe I'll even let you touch it, as long as that young lady in the ads
gives me a shiatsu...

Kevin
HeyyDude
