Rebreathers? Man, that gets my attention. I was just reading about the 
Draeger systems on their web page. Jean-Michel Cousteau and team are using 
them in some of the diving they are doing. Seems like a really dandy addition 
to someone's wet-sub. Purr up nice and quiet and swim out to investigate, all 
in blissful (near) silence. Wow! I hear the price is coming down. True? Don't 
have a spare $8K to invest, but I'd love to try it out.

Anyone interested should drop in on Cousteau at www.OceanFutures.com

Lots of interesting stuff for divers and ocean cranks alike, and it's a free 
membership--all done on the web.
