My impression of Phil Nuytten's suit was that it was rather on the
expensive side (100's of 1000's of $) and not really intended for
individual ownership. It seemed that they saw their market as contract
hire to commercial diving companies.

This came directly from the company in Vancouver. I had occasion to
phone them last year on behalf of a commercial diving friend who was
interested in getting training. They sent me a reasonable information
package. At that time there was a training centre in the UK but I
can't remember where.
