Pedro: One ting you may wish to consider is that given your desire to do a lot of photograpy, you might be happier with an ECCR. Certaily that does not relieve you of the responsibility to monitor your PO2 but it does reduce the workload a bit.

Hopefully an Inspo diver will chime in here, but they do seem to require additional lead for trim and weight which would not be good for you.

I dive my KISS Classic with no weight in a 3 mil suit like you use there in PR.
The new Sport KISS is a really small and light unit. That is certainly worth your consideration. The KISS Classic as a lot heavier than the Sport. How often are you going to be diving greater than 160'?

Another advantage of the KISS is it is very simple to maintain. No need to ever send the unit away. Good luck with your choice. Peter
