Those are the current owners. I still have yet to source the EAC in Germany, and they are rather rare in Europe. There are
a lot of rebreather divers over here. And many of us travel abroad, since the local diving has its limits.
There are large markets Dive Rite hasn't tapped yet. Supplying EACs both in those markets as well as the major dive destinations we travel to will be key to their success. And any other CCR using them. Until Micropore bothers to build up a decent network of dealers the EAC and RBs using them exclusively will be nothing more than odd curiosities outside the US.
Anyway, back to the subject of how long you can push the limits before offing yourself.
Good luck.
I agree with your post 100%, but I guess it's kind of a chicken and egg sort of thing. With low demand, dealers aren't going to stock the EAC's over there, and without the EAC's people won't jump on the O2ptima bandwagon.
The dollar being what it is though probably makes the unit a good value over there.
Maybe they will target a few areas abroad and try to build a marketshare.
