For me it was the mainly the cost of helium and also the wastefulness of OC. Also logistics for cave diving trips, even without a compressor I could have almost a week of diving and be fairly independant. It cuts down what I'm having to carry in the water too.

Like Nigel says, I found the technology quite interesting. I'm doing a Masters degree in diving science and rebreather design is part of it.

Finally, I always thought silent diving as a benefit was just a sales ploy. There is a site near me that I've been diving for the last ten years and never seen anything bigger than a cod. Every dive I've done there since getting my Rebreather I've been followed by seals for most of it.

Cheers,

Stuart
