I can't recommend the cis lunar as I have never used it. I do have the
owners manual for it, and would make several changes if if were mine,
but all I can say is that it appears to be about like all of them only a
little better quality and more use under its belt. Most appear actually
to be copies of the cis, and the cis appears to be a bad copy of the
Navy's MK-19, which is not in production.

If I were to buy an electronic rebreather, I would want a MK 16, but you
can not buy those, and they cost over 60 K anyway.

The rebreathers I have are mechanical, and I only use them for
ridiculous cave dives. I am not going to tell you to get a rebreather to
save on gas money, as no amount of gas money is equal to your life. 

You must also consider that when I dive a rebreather, I am diving with
Jarrod Jablonski, my ten year dive partner and the best dive partner in
the world. I would even dive a buddy desperation if he were with me,
with bondage wings on air, but then that is not even funny, is it.
