>  How much is the Newtsuit getting into common use? 

There's a company in Western Australia that have been trialling them for
flow line tie-ins for quite some while.  The same company recently deployed
two of them - flown, I believe, by Canadian pilots - for work on the trash
bins of one of New South Wales' largest dams at a depth of 100 metres.  That
was in October.

>About how many have been made?

Good question!  It's prompted me to try and find out.

> How much do they cost each?

Ummhh!  Another good question!  But inexpensive compared with a saturation
diving system.  ('though that doesn't mean that it's cheap!).  I believe
that Drager are handling the international marketing.  I bet they give
discount for bulk!!!
