Nope it wasn't. But it's damn near paid for itself in helium costs alone... I won't even get into 100 and 50 percent costs.
Dr Lecter can surely confirm both the dives and costs.
In the past 15 months, I have done 72 dives to depths that I use a minimum of 50 percent helium, some times more. These are dives between 180 and 315 feet. For simplicity, I have not included dives from 100 to 179 where the helium is usually less than 50 percent.
Helium costs for the rebreather come out to about $1080 for these dives.
For open circuit, the helium alone comes out to $9360 bucks.
I will dare say that if I were to add in open circuit deco gas costs, I would be well paid back on my $7500 initial investment into the rebreather.
