This is not an uncommon attitude from german companies. The problem is that
they usually are right. :) The atlantis is less complicated that the early
Draeger nitrox rebreathers from the 1930:ies. In London a saw a prototype
nitrox rebreather made in the 30ies by draeger. This unit used oxygen and
nitrox (air) form a variable fO2 in the loop depending on the depth. This
rebreather was not put into production as far as i know.

Draeger has at least 60 to 70 years of rebreather experience so they
know what they are doing, and Uwatec may help them with the computers, if
they stick to 200 bar systems. (I still want a 300 bar AirX)
