thank's for the article, well written.I'm interested in how they will develope
a training program for this unit.Being geared for the recreational market.
No doubt it would be a simplified ( watered down version ) of a standard
rebreather course.Next thought, with the unit's being delievered in feb/08
And at present no instructor's ( that I am aware of ) will the dealer's
release the unit prior to customer certification?

All the best.

Thanks for your good summary.

I really hope that the production design will be much more robust, and will not have only new hoses.
I pre-ordered one unit because I like the general lay out, the weight and because from Dr. Pyle words in this site, I guessed that what has been shown is more a concept verification unit than a finished product.
But the prototype I saw doesn’t seem to give the users many chances to reach an elderly age.

If it is like the interview with R. Pyle, it is worth to wait.

I actually saw a couple of guys diving these gems in a cave last week, they were exiting and at first I did not recognize the setup. The whole thing had been enclosed in a sort of wire cage and to be honest, it looked scary.

I agree with Beanie, it is not a robust unit and I suppose they had the open water crowd in mind when they designed it but I still think it should be sturdier.

Dive safe,

Celia
