Hi all
Thanks for the offerings so far. Probably best for me to give some more in depth info to explain the position I'm in and which Rebreather would be best.
My wife and I are not interested in pursuing the depth option so stay the shallower side of 35-40m. We both currently dive nitrox and have done so for a few years, generally we do 80ish dives a year predominantly in the UK.
Where we dive mostly getting gas is a bit of an issue and can be pricey due to captive audience etc. We have both started doing the photography thing and having watched 2 divers on scr's getting in close to the action can see the difference it makes. I don't think we could justify the expense of a ccr such as the inspiration due to the diving we intend doing.
Our dive days in the uk generally consist of 2 dive days and think the 3hr (as i'm told) run time of the dolphin would be more than sufficient for our requirements, it's always a ball ache and expense dragging the extra tins around for a full days diving. I appreciate I'm not going to make huge saving financially but the ease of not having to faff around changing cylinders etc on a RIB will be a godsend.
I like the simplicity of the dolphin compared with the inspiration although the hamster cheek scenario of the dolphin upside down would take some getting used to.
I'm a qualified blender and have O2 so filling will be simplicity. I don't think the pre mixed nitrox will be a limitation as the diving we do is relatively shallow so a blown out 35m dive will enable us to dive elsewhere at a shallower depth (in my experience if a site is blown out we tend to end up shallower).
I have to admit to being a bit of a stick in the mud and would ideally like to go for a CE approved Rebreather which I believe the kiss's aren't.

Anymore for anymore, sorry to waffle!
Cheers
