Dan,  I mean  reliable as in reliable as usual. When divers over forty 
make it through deep dives using technology that was developed over 20 
years ago we feel pretty good about it. Your Scuba pro is an extremely 
reliable unit as is all open circuit equipment. After all the technology 
behind your Scuba Pro regulator is much older than that of the Mark 155 
if you discount the prehistoric rebreathers. Cis Lunar has the benefit of 
the Mk155 technology since that is after all what it is based upon plus 
some tekkie doodads added on. BTW, hope all goes well during Bertha, hang 
on to that scuba pro becasue you might just neede it shortly.. Stay safe. Rod
