Toyota Prius claimed mileage is 51 to 60. But people driving it are getting 34 to 45. Still good mileage. But a Hybrid?

A VW jetta Diesel gets 45-55 and has for a long time. Yet, it don't have a hybrid badge.

Just because people say it's a new efficient toy don't mean it is more efficient then you already have access too.

I agree some time there is going to be a major manufacturer come in and blow the Rebreather market away. No more home made parts. Cost all of $200 for the whole unit in parts. Sell for around $3000.

It could actually be next year. Just gotta get the Major players to jump in the pond. They have the ability. Look at what a Cochran or Oceanic or Mares or ScubaPro computer does compared to a HSExplorer or a Vr3.

They can write the code. They can make them waterproof. Best of Injection molding tech and the suppliers who would love the work. They have the ability without any doubts in my mind. They, just don't want to. To small a market.

ScubaPro, Mares, Oceanic could have a unit up and diving in 1 year easy. If they wanted to. But, you don't see one.

OMS, Halcyon, DiveRite are all minor players. They can't put the Big money down and don't have the code writers.

I think we'll see cryo when Flash Gordon is reserected. LOL...

But, all it takes is one advancement. Kevlar was an accident. Vulcanizing was an accident. Lot of accidents that made huge leaps in Technology. Just gotta wait for the next accident.
