Steve,

Have you enjoyed the 'stealth' benefits of your BMR155 with respect to
getting very close up to otherwise 'SCUBA' shy marine life.  I would
imagine some really interesting video opportunities have presented
themselves to you while diving on your rebreather.

What make and model dry suit do you use up there in the frigid north?

A friend wanted to know if you were interested in selling you BRM155
once your CCR500 arrives?

Regards,
Peter Sale
