The diving that I do-NY area wrecks-the limiting factor be it OC or CC is not gas capacity , but rather cold and how much hang time one chooses to endure. So the canisters limits are quite sufficient in all practical terms. I also find the intergrated Deco software attractive .

Have you tried one? I haven't dived one, only tried breathing one on the surface and wasn't impressed, it didn't breathe as well as either the YBOD or my Boris, I don't think I'd want to take it underwater.

Well Ian, no offence, but perhaps you should really try one before making baseless statements.
Perhaps then you might be impressed.
The shoulder high cannister, allows for short hoses and rersults in excellent WOB both at the surface and at depth.
As the saying goes "try it you might like it" !

Take care,

Err, I tried it on the surface so therefore not baseless, it is unlikely to improve underwater. No axe to grind, I just thought it was a poor breath, sorry if you disagree.

Hmmm... I wish someone would have told me
