Are all of you > soon-to-be-rebreather divers paying attention? I am incredulous that you actually believe this shit. I know you are just saying this for the list, right. If you cannot lay off the rebreather for a month and do anymore than that upon your return, stick to open circuit, it's a lot safer for you. The problem with saying what you said is that after the soon-to-be-rebreather divers spend some time with rebreathers they are going to wonder what the hell you were talking about. Diving a rebreather is not rocket science. Understanding how they work and maintaining them requires much more effort and diligence than for open circuit- but diving them is a piece of cake. If the Cis-Lunar is so complex that a months layoff requires days to get back up to speed, then go to the BioMarine unit because it doesn't. BTW, BioMarine is taking orders for closed-circuit rebreathers. The new units should be delivered in spring 1996. A couple of people on the list have ordered them and paid deposits. Rich, don't spend a lot of time replying to this. I'm not really busting your chops because I know you present your diving one way for the list and another in reality, otherwise how could you extensively do deep diving using all the equipment and techniques you invented? Let's change the subject for a minute. Answer this question on the list. This is a real offer. I know a company looking for two divers to dive to 220 fsw for 15 minutes on air, open-circuit scuba, untethered regular old scuba diving. Deco at 5 meters on 100% O2 surface supplied. Up and down on a line. No bad marine creatures, 50 degree F water. They just want videotape of the site. Salary is $450/day plus all expenses, guaranteed 30 days of work. Other than diving no other work is involved. Land based. Do you know anyone who would do this? Obviously, there is only one space available. Limit your answer to one sentence. I need an answer asap. > Aloha, > Rich > -- > Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@terra.net'. > Send subscription/archive requests to `techdiver-request@terra.net'. >
