Paul, don't tell me you guys still manufacture that piece of shit? I guess your post below is inspired by Richard Nordstom's lie that nobody had ever been killed using a Cis Lunar rebreather. Maybe you or Norstrom could give me Ian Rollin's phone number so I can call him up and see how he is doing? I bet I could find him having lunch with Generalissimo Franco. It seems that rebreather manufacturers have been emboldened by the recent aquittal of Clinton on perjury charges. After all, what is "death". Death, like "sex" is obviously subjective. Ian Rollin's death apparently is like Clinton's sex - just a little head. We all know that there have been deaths on the Atlantis, that there have been injuries on the Atlantis, and that there have been accidents on the Atlantis. How about the British Secret Service agent brain damaged in Hawaii on an Atlantis? Just a little head? Listen, Mr. Bullshit, the Atlantis is the single worst peice of crap I have ever seen : 1) the mouthpiece has some wimpy valves in it that curl up and give you a real nice hypercapnia experience when you need to breath hard. 2) The counter lung would makes a cheap BC look bad - this thing is as flimsy and ill thought out as it gets. It chafes all over the cover, and is poorly contained. 3) The orifice system is so stupid as to be criminal in my opinion. The concept of varying gas supplies way above what could be breathed on open circuit according to orifice and depth is beyond the pale stupid and shows that you guys know nothing about diving. 4) The way this cheeseball works is extremely dangerous - when the gas supply runs out this thing continues on to breath like a CCR without aaddition with no warning. The loop gets depleted of oxygen and it's lights out. It took me one dive in the pool on this to find that out, and I never put one on again, and never looked further to see what other horrors this atrocity contains. Maybe the others how have had one of these could fill us all in. I am supprised this thing is not sold in K Mart or at Seven Elevens, or on late night TV with the vegetable steamer and the Ginshu knives.
