As regards the Prism being the first design to offer  a water tolerant
scrubber, I would
agree with Rich on this one. It did not up until last year. The design has been
re-hashed
 a couple of times and may now offer it, but it certainley was not the first.
As regards
the press release stating that this is a revolution in design, well if you know
your 
rebreathers you will realise it is a re-hash of old designs that has been made
to work.
None the less it works and hopefully will allow low cost simple rebreather
technology to 
hit the streets  
 
Regards

Chris
