I look forward to the extra flavor as well.

Do you have a deposit on one? There are quite a few of us here who
are well on our way to diving rebreathers that hang in the background in
this list, you are correct in saying that there are not a lot of people
diving them, but after all, until this year, a real closed circuit
rebreather tipped the scales at $15000.00+ USD. That was more than many of
us could justify for our hobby. You will find that the people currently
diving these units have a work related reason to dive them, usually
Photography or science.
Hang tight for the next few months and you should start to hear about
the experiences of those of us who *ARE* going to be diving these rigs on a
regular basis. And you know what? We will probably be very happy to tell
you about our experiences without the snide, belittling tone that permeates
this list.
Does anyone else find it interesting that George has been learning
and diving rebreathers for a year while very carefully throwing up a smoke
screen saying "rebreathers are not real dive equipment". I suppose he had
his reasons to hide the facts, but I get a chuckle out of the fact that
those of us who have already committed our hard earned money and time to
rebreathers, are now going to be vindicated on this list by one of the
harshest critics. Thanks George.
