(Subject: Mark 15 Manual):-

  > I am in search of a manual for a Navy Mark 15 rebreather for a friend. He
told me he contacted NAVSEA and was told that they were unavailable and that
if he chose to get one via the freedom of information act they would severly
edit it so that it would effectively be useless ...

  (1) What is NAVSEA? (I live in England and there is much about USA Govt.
organizations that I don't know.)
  (2) To me as a non-lawyer, it seems that it could be argued that if NAVSEA
won't supply this manual except as grossly mutilated as stated, then they are
not truly supplying "the manual" and thus are not properly obeying the Freedom
of Information Act. Are there any lawyers out there who could comment?
  (3) Is it an oxygen rebreather or a mixture rebreather or what? What make?
How did he get it? How much is how to dive with it affected by what make it
is?, apart from such things as cylinder and canister size which can be found
by examining the set. How much is the manual needed?
  (4) Is its bag on the back or on the chest? How is it arranged?
