I’m out of that loop I’m afraid. I do believe the Horizon was a playground for some things that’ll pop out of a future unit, but I don’t know anyone personally at Mares.Are ther Revo4 plans confirmed @grantctobin?

It was a light overview for someone with little knowledge of S/CCR and not the ins and outs of a duck's arse.The WKPP, OCDA, a couple of KUR, and all users of the Tres Presidentes and similar units would disagree. They’re a niche item, and the wrong path for OP, but your post is silly and errant.
Then there’s the Drager series, the GEM, and the pockets of Horizons (hopefully some of whose features make it to the REVO4).
How shallow is shallow? A 40-60ft reef for 90min sounds amazing for photography.Long shallow dives with a 40 sounds like a good niche. Packing a scrubber and cleaning hoses etc is not that much work.
40' and above has lots to see and is the case for many shore dives. A bit warmer air would be nice as well in California waters.How shallow is shallow? A 40-60ft reef for 90min sounds amazing for photography.
An hour and you have to be pedantic as your life and health depend upon it. After every day you need to flush the loop and lungs with water. Periodically, weekly, you have to wash out the unit with disinfectant. Every time you build it you need to run through a checklist. You need to ensure the oxygen sensors work and have spares available.How shallow is shallow? A 40-60ft reef for 90min sounds amazing for photography.

CCR/SCR is a completely different mindset than on open circuit where a quick rinse will suffice.
The thing I find crazy about the horizon SCRs (purely based on website, not personal experience) is they cost MORE than a bare bones Triton CCR... I would personally never recommend getting a Triton without a petrel, nerd or ideally both computers together, but ironically the Horizon version of a simple eSCR is FAR more complicated and electronics dependent than my Triton mCCR...How nice will it be when cheap little used Horizons hit the market screaming for conversion
It seems like you think the only SCR out there is the horizon. For the horizon, much of your argument is valid, for an RB80, clones, or GEM, not so much.An hour and you have to be pedantic as your life and health depend upon it.
