You must have needed a nap by then, eh?  They've been holding these
discussions about the CIS Lunar unit longer than they've been diving.
It's going to ship anytime now.  At least that's what they've been
saying for the past 4 plus years.  6 months late, ok.  1 year late,
hum?  4 years late - laughingstock.

Rich is a nice guy and since he dives a free rebreather he cannot
do anything but talk nicely about them but he is not doing any
2-3 hour bottom times at serious depth with this toy.

This is a bit misleading.  It is supposed to cost $15,000 US when
it ships, however, by the time it actually ships, $15,000 US will
probably buy you a loaf of bread.

Then there's Stonehead - a legend in his own mind.  I hear he's
going for the Lockwood record this time around, but he's out to 
do it all on one dive.
