- You can buy liquid oxygen (LOX) commercially today.
-
- However, it is not feasible today as a diving gas source -- too hard
- to contain, etc..
-
- If you meant closed-circuit oxygen rebreathers, they are available
- commercially for under $10K, but they're quite limited.
-
- The really interesting technology is closed-circuit mixed gas
- rebreathers, whose depth is nearly unlimited. That is on its way.
