Re: Calling all CCR manufacturers!

Dear manufacturers,

we as a global community have grown ever more interested in understanding statistics around rebreather types, fatal accidents and technological changes. We realize that some of that information is proprietary and necessarily a secret but some information is held private to avoid undue speculation. At this point, the lack of hard numbers is fueling more speculation than it is holding back... because we live in the age of global communication and can't help but ask questions and seek truth. Naturally some speculation is bound to happen either way.

At this point, we are in the dark. Please help us out. I will hold with great respect any and all manufacturers who have the integrity to release official numbers here on this thread.

it would be great to at least know:
-total of a given unit sold
-units thought to be in use today
-number of each type: a break down by major design/electronics change. (classic vs vision, apex version vs Copis, version of hammerhead electronics, etc)

At this point I think our ignorance is hurting the industry more than the facts could will ever be. Please help enlighten us!

with eternal optimism,
not a big secret: effectively today, best estimate of :
actually IN USE units: 124 rEvo's ( all mCCR, exept 4 :-)

then +/- 10 not in use (stolen, lost, truck drove over it, decoration of the garage..)
then +/- 10 supplied but not yet in use (waiting for training)

regards
paul
