Thanks, Trey
I think one of the concerns right now is the cylinders are not DOT approved. This may or may not be a concern for divers? When I ordered inspiration ccr’s direct from the UK, I was selling systems with non DOT cylinders to my students and they have not had issues. However a distributor would need to provide cylinders appropriate for the market. There are appropriate cylinders that will fit, so I don’t think it is a big issue.

Another issue that concerned me regarding the ccr model is how to increase the PPO2. While I had a very comfortable dive, and enjoyed the breathing characteristics, I found it challenging to increase the PPO2 without the ADV diluting the mix.

Would any divers who are currently diving the submatix with ccr modification please give your thoughts on adding oxygen and increasing the PPO2
