Peter Sotis, a Delray Beach dive instructor and scuba gear dealer and trainer, was sentenced to almost five years in federal prison Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022, on conspiracy and smuggling charges. She reinforced that the offenses were not trivial, while also recognizing that Emilie’s overall good character far outweighs the bad decisions she made at Add Helium,” Moss said. Rebreathers recirculate a diver’s air, producing no bubbles in the process, unlike traditional scuba gear. Over the next month after Add Helium and Ramas, as well as other people not identified in the indictment, were introduced, they discussed shipping the gear, and Add Helium received several more wire transfers. Sotis told the Herald in 2017 that the Libyans planned to use the dive gear for shipwreck hunting in the Mediterranean.
