I trained with Richard Stephenson after doing my trimix course and then discovering my desk bound frame couldn't carry sufficient OC gas to do useful bottom times given my high rmv.
I tried the Inspiration over a week-end to see if it was all it had been cracked up to be. It was so I ordered one straight off.
I now don't have to worry about having enough gas for a week-ends sport diving or a good trimix dive.(I carry bailouts as appropriate).
I use 10/50 helair all the time the unit mixes the O2 to the right PPO2 upto high O2s at the 6m stop.
Advantages to me: lighter than the equivalent trimix set up. Produces warm breathing gas (since having it I have not needed my pee valve). Very low END I prefer 25m +/-. It's quiet, it produces no bubbles on the bottom so fish do come closer than OC. Gas costs (see above) are very low compared to OC. Hows that ?
