Andy,

I know you are asking Jerry, but having just dived there just a couple of weeks ago. And also one of the first group diving the Dutch subs years ago when they were first discovered, I believe...

The KISS (either one) would be perfect for those types of dives. I wished I still have my KISS units with me the whole time - especially the SK to travel and penetration.

On the Repulse, another group did 75min BT (54-57m) and ~3:30 total RT. Since a couple of us only managed to rent 2L tanks, and with low O2 pressure, we were doing only ~50min BT and ~2:30 total RT (conservative of VR-3 or the slowest buddy)

Thanks for the info Phi, makes sense. Those damn 2lt tanks are the limiting factor w/o a booster. My Evo buddies had to bring extra 02 tanks on the boat to get in 3 dives a day on our last land based trip. Can 3lts be used with the SK?

Sorry for the hijack folks...
