I'm involved with a Rescue/Recovery dive team and have been for a number of years.

In our enviroment, no way. We dive in ponds looking for everything from knives to guns to cars to bodies. Ponds have a lot of silt and a lot of fishing line.

We also dive the Mississippi River. Zero vis. Blackwater. You couldn't see your HUD or your display even with a light on them .

In those enviroments. No way.

There are places I could see it. Just not ours.

Super17 is the sweet set up for the river.

Pure o2 in the shallows....low psi alarm
