John, do you really believe I do not know anything about rebreathers?
Give me a break. We use a system that works for our whole team with no
excuses or problems, integrates with DIR perfectly, and is so simple as
to be the obvious choice for real diving - we are not trying to impress
anyone with our "techieness", and as a result, we have the track record
to go with our choice, and so do the Cis Lunar and Inspiration crowds.

The fact is that every manufacuter of every gimmick on this planet has
tired to get me to dive their rig, and until Jack Kellon came along I
did nothing but try them in a pool as a courtesy before coming to the
obvious conclusion that has been proven correct by the track reocrd of
thes devices and those who use them.

No thanks.

You do not understand a thing of our system, as evidenced by your
preoccupation with bottles being on one side. We have been over and over
that, and the simple version of the answer is that you again need to go
back and look at the entire system, and stop trying to nitpick it with
your incomplete vision of it. You might also try using the right
bottles, instead of boat anchors for stages and deco gas. The only way
we identify gas is with the MOD, and it makes no difference whether it
is meters or feet, we do not put anything but mod on the bottle and that
is that - no confusion there. We do not dive with strokes who do
otherwise.

Redundant deco gas? Give me a break. We dive as teams, tough guy, and we
also know the deco alternatives, and recognize the way to deco out on
what we have available, and do not do ocean exposures that require
massive obligatory deco. If we did, we would have safety divers and
extra gas on the boat.

John, by now one would think that the reality or what we have done and
what influence we are having wotul be sinking in with some of you -
clearly it is not.

You should have brought up some of this silliness with me when I was
over there last - we could have had you straightened out in a matter of
minutes.
