I recently sent Eric a copy of the information I recieved from Biomarine on 
thier Seapack 1000.  This information was fairly extensive.  I believe that 
the Seapack 1000 is closely related to the CCR 155, US Navy MK 15/16 
rebreathers.
As far as I know these units are available today for $10,000.00 US.  This price 
is somewhat higher than the rumored $7000 US price range for a Cis-Lunar or 
Phibian I keep hearing about.  Also I don't think the Seapack 1000 is quite
as functional as either of these units. For example there is no decompression 
computer.  Here is the contact:
