    My rebreather is the only way to go. 6hr+ of air supply no matter what the depth is.

    I used to dive with steel 105's and steel 120. Beuchat now has steel 150's.

    At some point you are going to run into NDL's if you are at depth with cylinders that size.

    Rebreathers are comparatively a pain compared to the low logistics of open circuit and large steel scuba cylinders, and they are a royal pain to travel with on airlines, BUT, I have yet to run into a no deco limit when diving 4-5 dives a day at resorts when everyone is doing open circuit profiles.

    Once in Micronesia we were at 90 feet and the dive guide had to ascend to 40 and just stay looking down at us as he was up against his NDL from repetitive dives. We sure weren't!

    But what I wouldn't give for the traveling ease and low logistics of open circuit for traveling!

    I wonder how well the new Cis-Lunar Mark 6 travels as they are now shipping.
