BioMarine CCR155: 80 feet for three hours at pO2=1.4 on Civil War shipwreck laden with artifacts followed by 45 min deco on 100% O2 at 20 feet. Used 4 cu ft. air and 7 cu ft O2 for the dive; the O2 at 20 wasn't mine so it doesn't count. The best use of the rebreather for deco purposes is shallower than 100 or so feet; advantageous use of the unit for deco purposes with air as diluent at pO2=1.4 is shallower than 187 feet. the best use for bottom time regardless of deco is anything shallower than 1400 feet. Is the Magnolia still in the Bay? The last dive I made there was on the Tecumseh; I used OC for that dive. That 360" dive scared McKenney so bad, he used Bev Morgan's band mask with surface supply. I know deep air is a forbidden subject here but I have made several dives in excess of 360" on air and lived to tell about it. These guys don't know shit.
