Who's "they", and can you be so kind as to point me to a link or a public announcement? Joint venture implies shared ownership and I don't think this is the case.
The MKV *not 5p* before that I think went back to 2000.......there was a MKV after the 5p that looked very similar to the VI in the early 2000's.......
These are not correct statements. I was an active diver at the time and the Cis-Lunar units were almost mythical. The MK5 was 100% Cis-Lunar and it ended in 2000 with limited production sold. After that the rebreather side of Cis-Lunar shut down until Poseidon got involved in 2005 and developed the MK VI.
If you know something more please produce some references with pictures, etc.
AP is a business that is not going away. The owner is a passionate CCR diver surrounded by a lot of good people. Although there are other units that look seductively good, the market is so small (niche) any corporate manufacturer might well be subject to cost analysis that cans production. So I know which unit I would invest my money in although I have in the past used Poseidon, JJ, Sentinel and Prism. I hope that helps!
Interestingly the first CIS Lunar Mk 5 radial scrubber I ever laid eyes on was being used in a meg as they are a drop in replacement for the meg axial. There was no meg radial in existence at that time (2004). I was taking my cave training with the guy in the picture above.
. His Meg is one of the "Cave" Megs from the movie he got in trade for his work.
