A good friend has repeatedly taken his Apollo (no modifications) well beyond
their suggested depth.  I personally have seen him take it to 270' (ocean).
He has been as deep as 302' on it.  Often exceeds the depth rating.

I have the scooter, it works fine.  I'm sure there is a bit of safety margin
built into te 165' rating, but over 200' might be pushing it.

I'm told in Europe they use a kit to add pressure to it to take it to
greater depths.  Can't help you with locating the kit.
