      The bottles on the 15.5 and so on are spheres. A real closed circuit 
rebreather has very small containers - the usual people who use these devices 
are paid to die, you all forget, and the least of their worries is drowning.

       Highly skilled divers and technicians like Rod can operate these in
their 
work environment, and can use a third bottle to help bailout, but we are
talking 
guys who could dive the Monitor on a pony bottle in the fist place, so to put
it 
bluntly, most of you rebreather dreamers are jerking yourselves off.

       Take King and Stone in Wakula for example - they will need three or four 
times the bailout gas (assuming they ever get in) over what we need for open 
circuit since we CAN DO the dives on open circuit in the first place, and they 
CAN NOT

        I would suggest to all potential rebrether buyers that they get so good 
they don't need a rebrether, like Farb is already, and get the knowledge of all 
dive gear funtion first (like Farb already has from years of experience) and 
know the dive conditions inside and out (like Farb does aleready) , and then
buy 
yourself a rebreather and have some fun playing with it - my kids have a great 
time with mine in the pool.
