Subject: Re: closed circuit rebreathers
Carmellan obtained a couple of BioMarine CCR155's. To my knowledge their 
claim to develope rebreather by 1993 is typical diver BS. No rebreather 
nor one likely. BioMarine 610.873.7200 Dick King is taking orders for 
closed circuit rebreather, They currently have orders for two and bid on 
ten for Europe. There are 18 CCR155's in private hands. There are six 
among myself and friends that are regularly dived. Dick King should have 
no problem getting the unit to you. 13K for unit, 0.8K for course (3-4 
days). No European distributor. BioMarine is only company that has not 
promised the unit several times during the past three years and not 
delivered. Three redundant O2 sensors, diver settable pO2 set point not 
changeable during dive. Fully closed-circuit, O2 and diluent bottle on 
board, 8lb scrubber section. Electronics and battery. Fully auto or 
manual operation, over 100,000 diver hours of use. fully tested by U.S. Navy.
