On a recent trip down to Swanage in the UK I counted no less than 9 Inspo divers, and 3 of them even had custom case/mountings. It really surprised me to see so many.
The number you see is slightly inflated by the fact that if you do enough diving to warrant a rebreather you do a lot of diving but, when you come down to it, the Yellow Box dominates in the UK.
Interestingly in forums the percentage 'other makes' is significantly higher but that's probably because the internet savvy know the others exist while for a lot of UK divers rebreather is synonymous with APD. I'm not complaining. I started down this route in 2001 when there wasn't so much choice so I copied what my friends were doing and the Inspo has worked well for me.
