Subject: Re: NAVY RE-BREATHERS?
The rebreathers are all sold. It would have been a superb deal. It is a 
superb deal for those that bought. They are CCR 1000 rebreathers that can 
be used as is or transformed into deep units for about $100. They are not 
death traps by any means. But, if you know of anyone killed using one 
recently and their unit was not recovered, let me know, I'd like the unit.
