Does anyone know about the PADI rebreather course?

Aloha!

I just went to a scuba fair and attended a talk on PADI's tech courses. The speaker showed us a rebreather that he implied PADI either developed or endorses, and then said they are rolling out a rebreather class in September. Is this true? If so, do you have more information? Or was I just sleeping and having strange dreams?

Thanks!

Heard the Recreational Course coming this fall will be based around the Poseidon MkVI Rebreather:
Poseidon :: Discovery MkVI

It's still being finalized, but yes, there will be a whole series of rebreather courses from PADI. Last I heard, I want to say there will be two on the recreational side at launch and 4 or 5 on the technical side. Each certification will be good for a specific unit, but they are working on making crossing over from one unit to another as simple as possible.

Any further words on this development, or on which kit they will be using?

Thanks
