Hey Alex:

The Units to look at would be as follows (all of these companies are real and liquid, basically they will be around for a while):

1) Meg
2) Insperation
3) Optima

I have 2 insperations (although only one is operational) and have never had a single problem with them in caves or Long Island (NY and NJ) wreck dives to over 300'. The unit isn't perfect by any means but it works, there are several things that i view as design flaws and have decided to move on to a MEG. with HH electronics, Cis Lunar scrubber and a couple small modifications I have in mind.

For what you want I vote MEG. its a great product, I have been on one but have never owned one.

There are other VERY good units out there (Boris, Cis Lunar, MK 15, MK 15.5), however all of these are Big, and / or require extensive maintenance and/or are out of the US, so svc. and Maint. COULD be an issue. Oh and there all 15,000 US+++ by the time your done with training and extras, its 20K US.

I like the Boris and will prob. get one as well.

Cheers

J
