Just before Boot 2005 I received an email from Matthias Pfister. He asked me to visit him and take a look at his new RON rebreather. I contacted him and was fortune to meet him. Matthias showed me his RON (rebreather ohne name = rebreather without a name) and highly impressed me with the superior quality of his machine.
