OK, just to stop the flames starting I'm not going to say anything about the 
reliablity of Cochran products.
Some work great, some don't.  

Now, getting to my question, there's been alot of discussion about placing O2 
sensors in humid breathing gas environments such as the inhalation bag of any 
rebreather regardless of design.  Cochran has come out with this new device 
called the "Lifegaurd", basically designed to be placed in a rebreather 
inhalation bag. 

They state that it uses a 'Water Tolerant O2 sensor' and can supply PO2 
information with a Nemesis IIa Nitrox, type of device.  They also state that 
it can be plumbed into a semi-closed unit like the Drager Atlantis One.  This 
solves one of the most basic problems associated with the use of the Atlantis, 
NOT KNOWING what your breathing.  Can any of you techno weenies comment on 
this combination.  Please don't flame me just for mentinoning, the Atlantis 
and Cochran, I'm concerned more with the theory, then the manufactures 
reputations.

Thanks, Steve Merenkov

PS: George please don't slam me just because I can't afford a Halcyon...
