I can't let this one go buy without saying that my partner Bill Brooks
has done MORE than his share in constructing our rebreathers.  I am aware
of 1 other group/individual who has constructed and is diving ( as
far as I know) a semiclosed rebreather.  I'm also know of several people who 
have constructed and dove O2 units which are now defunct and several
groups/people who have worked on rebreathers but do not as far as I know
currently have an operational unit.  In addition Tracey Robbinette (sp?) 
had a web page which talked about a club to construct an O2 breather.

Despite what some people have said about PO2 control on semiclosed constant
mass flow rebreathers we have had no such problem ( we have a single O2 
sensor and display plumbed into our loop ).  On the other hand we
now have a bread board prototype for a fully closed electronic unit.
I think it will be a while yet before we dive the Monitor with it!
