Straight onto the rumor-mill from an undisclosed 4th-hand source

Teh Cis-Lunar has nothing to do with the original, except the name.
There is supposedly an recreational version, wich is based upon EAC, with all kinds of bells and whistles. I was told that its only rated for 50m.
Original pricerange was 4000€

It sounds as if deeplife.co.dk with AlexDeas et. al, work has come to fruition, but no one knows or will confirm this (probably NDA's etc)!

It was supposed to have been shown in prototype-state at Copenhagen Diveshow earlier this year, but FAILED to make an appearance.

So if AD_WARD9 reads this, could he comment his designs IN GENERAL cencerning limits for recreational/eploration/proffesional use as possiblities for his clients?

And are anyone going to make it to market with their pricetarget, or has he become to exspensive?

Will the promised CO2-monitor be standard, or addon for the designs, his clients are developing?

From sources that have been in contact with Poseidon I have been able to gather this:
The MK6 does not just have the name in common with MK5 / CIS Lunar. The CIS-Lunar patents have ben made to use as have Bill Stone been part of the development team. There are a set of units now in diving tests. The machine is to be launched in October as per plan and is currently in CE approval phase. The machine will initially be an sport type of machine with no multigas capability. The system is said to be upgradeable later on. The obvious reason would be the CE approval requirement that would be significantly more difficult with an more open envelope. The system uses back mounted CL and is using an cartridge type scrubber (although this is the first time I hear that it would actually be the EAC) One of Poseidons primary objective is to have an machine significantly cheaper than what is on the market now. Thats where it will differ from the MK5, being an machine of maximum performance rather than affordability. EAC does seem as bit strange knowing the cost of the cartridges, the speculation being that it could be a pre-packed lime/d-sorb cartridge. Target price is said to be set below 4000 €

How sure are you that it actually is the EAC and not something else ?
