I have to tell you guys, unless the gas is turned off, the pressure on the 
inside is the same as on the outside. Who was you rebreather instructor, Rocky 
Balboa? I also just have to say this - none of you gets the least bit worried 
about diving dive rit e swaure lights, but you worry about the shape of a
drager 
canister? Don't make me laugh . Who said this anyway, tell me it was not Pyle.

leakage. I have never seen a Drager unit, but from this post I would think it
is 
very frail?
