Guys, I think there is nothing to make fun about. Remember the first diving took place in diving bells and metal helmets.
Again, the Israelis are very military minded so this could already be operating in military hands.
The rebreathers we dive today and boast about, is history for the military.

I exchanged emails with the guy in question and he says a working unit wouldn't be available for two years or so. So I doubt anything is currently in use in an underwater environment. I won't vote against the possibility as there are some incredibly smart people out there in the world and quite a few interesting bits of technology that no one is remotely aware of.

Hell, just the other day I was reading about a new medical product that basically breaths for those who can't breath for themselves by plugging into a leg artery.

They've used it on a couple of servicemen in Iraq when their lungs were too damaged to work on their own.

I'm not about to say that anything is impossible at this point.
