Rich, The diver I have in mind for my arguement is the guy with the time and money to own good camera equipment and enjoys the detailed work required to maintian it (the diving dentist). These people are really not that rare, are generally pretty sharp, and are certainly capable of understanding the rebreather well enough to dive the recreational limits. They are out there now in numbers. I don't think teh rebreather will take 50 years to acchieve the popularity scuba has simply becasue there is a large diving population already. Again, times have changed. There is a much bigger base market already trained in scuba, comfortable underwater and ready to accept a new challenge. As Kevin pointed out, the units themselves are very simple, if the electronics are modular and can easily be replaced. (At least the BioMarine units are simple I have not seen your unit yet.:-) I dove OC yesterday and thought about this argument during the dive. I hit 98 ft. for about 20 minutes, then up to 60 or so until I was slapped with a deco. I spent a lot of time watching my HP and the normal time starring at my computer. It was cool, noisy, fast and I was tired at the end. I did find a great sinker stone though! Sekian dulu Mike
