Is there some deep rebreather wisdom in this 180 foot number?  Or is this
just the depth you figure you could bail to the surface from using one
of the 15/16 spheres of diluent?

PS.  On the taste greate less filling thing: you're all wrong.  I saw a 
video of the Newtsuit last night.  Amazing!  I've now sold all my 
dive gear and bought several meters of Schedule 80 PVC pipe, a 
role of duct tape and a disused salad bowl.  I'll be passing this on to 
Billy and expect to have my own Newtsuit by next weekend.
