Oh, by the way it only costs $5 for a refill on air, just take more dives. Your log book will like that better too.
What I do
Carry larger cylinders,
Skip breath
stay fit*
wear less weight
dive as often as possible

"Let's go Diving"
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.

SKIP BREATH???? Are you serious? Are you really certified?
Some tech divers still do this. I have been told that it can be difficult to "unlearn" this when moving to a rebreather.
Pretty bad article! I'm guessing it was written by someone who wasn't a diver or very inexperienced. Breathe normally and have fun. If you're fat and out of shape get a bigger tank. Dive more and more and all of a sudden your SAC rate drops down. Mine is half of what it was but it took well over a hundred dive! Like everythig practice makes perfect.
re:
I remember when I experienced just began diving, I would melt away by means of my oxygen in no time even although other people i experienced been diving with would nonetheless have lots of oxygen to hold on diving. Now which i dive on the frequent basis, I arrive throughout just the opposite getting true. I recently do a shallow dive and was in a location to acquire 1.5 several hours away from the traditional AL80 cylinder!
Breathing oxygen, you must dive shallow then
