Just stumbled accross this....So delta P's development cost's were'nt all bourne by the company, the tax payer played a huge part! I assume we all get a discount on buying one if we can provide a national insurance number?NDS - News Distribution Services

High quality document...

"Kevin's "Rebreather" gives divers an average seven and a half hours in any depths compared to the seven and a half minutes (check?) provided by a single tank at 20 metres"

I'm so glad I don't dive OC much more... would really limit my diving at and beyond 20mtrs

If I recall that quote correctly in the context I heard it, the single tank being referred to is a 2L bottle since that's what comes on the 'Boris, so it's possible the duration is somewhat close, although simplified.

I knew it was a good idea to keep my NI card! It's only 20 years old, but that's OK, right?

Yes Fin,

Enabling Kevin to not need to pass on his R&D costs to the end user.

So thanks.

Cheers,

Dave.

Since when has Poole, Dorset been part of the North East???

An interesting question! It seems Kevin has (had?) a base of sorts in the Team Valley business park, in Gateshead according to the article. That's about 10-15 miles south of me here in Ncl.
