Who's actually taking delivery of new unit?

tomhanaway · 20th January 2006, 10:40

I'm way out on the delivery list for the Prism. Somewhere around September '06. I haven't seen many posts about new owners receiving their rigs. Just curious to see how often new rigs are being delivered.
I realize I can call SMI and ask but I'd like to hear from actual recipients.
Thanks in advance,
Tom H.

PS. I placed my order and sent deposit in Nov. '05.

I got mine for Christmas

Sharon, Jan, Vicky and our friend Teri conspired to
give it to me as a very big surprise. Needless to say I'm tickled with it.

NOT MANY, PRISM's getting out of the Rebreather business...by now you all know that his Unit didn't pass Navy testing.

I was talking to Sharon today and we're scheduled to get our set by the end of Feb. Waaahooo... now all I have to do is get rid of the ice so we can get the training in.

Dude - give it a rest will you? We all know that you don't like Prisms, fair enough, I'm sure you have your reasons. The constant slander get's a bit stale though...

Just for the record, where exactly did you hear this little snippet from?
I've heard several rumours to this effect in the last 6 months including several locally about things in Australia. NONE have proved to be true.

Soooo....... I'd like to hear your sources and what evidence you have to back this up? Or is it more web forum BS, similar to what we get in Australia?

Folks,

Just a reminder, if you will. We have advocates of all of the types of rebreathers that exist, and some detractors of same.

Even with strongly held view-points, y'all do a great job (generally) of being polite, and playing nicely in the sandbox!

As a Board, we request that both sides stick to the facts in discussions and, where pertinent, cite references, quotes, names and dates, etc.

Thank you, and now back to our regularly scheduled program!
