If you have access to uk products try the following

They come from a UK manufacture called Apeks

They are the

T50D
and  Manta 5000

The MAnta is hard to get as it is of the same style as the poseidon
but less tempermental

The t50D is rated to 50+ by ANSI tests even with 4 people breathing
of the one first stage ( if you beleive the press )(diver), is environmentally
sealed and because it is primarially used in the UK It can cope with cold water
easily.

I have both the above and a poseidon jetstream ( I think this is the ODIN in
USA) and do prefer the jetstream at depth however the others especilly the 
MAnta are better at shallowe depth

( this however is probably due to bad servicing etc)

  Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 	and I,
  I take the one less travelled by, and that makes all the difference.
