Isn't this what they do now in Bakini?
I wonder what they do for divers like me who need bifocals. Do they have the display out at arms lengths?
Water-proof bread so we can enjoy a vegemite sandwich during safety stops or deco.

Do you think this is a good thing?

CC rbs will become more common. I think they are cool, so I think it's a good thing.
RBs are an affordable way to dive TRIMIX too.

Enjoy and vegemite in the same sentence?? Yeeeccchhh...
As far as the next big things, I can see trimix becoming as accepted and widely used as Nitrox. Not too long ago nitrox was controversial, there wasn't much info publicly available, it was a technical thing...now you can get a padi cert for it. Trimix isn't honestly that god awful difficult and I can see it getting taught and used more and more.
Rebreathers though.....ehhhh...maybe. They are going to have to get a LOT cheaper. Right now, some of the new rebreathers that are actually worth owning are really, really expensive. Yeah, you can get a SCR for 3k, but why even bother. If you are going to get a rebreather, you might as well get one you can actually do some serious diving with.
think the whole US LDS/online sales conflict will come to a head and the manufacturers will have to acknowledge they sell their wares in a free market society.
To draw an analogy; interestingly enough the music industry just lost a class action lawsuit about price inflation on cd's.
Does this ring a bell with anyone about MARP agreements at your LDS?
If store owners were to meet and set a minimum pricing it is considered colusion and is illegal. If a manufacturer does it is just doing business.
Oceanic just sold out to catalog sales with Diver's Direct.

Think about it, honestly. The level of risk goes up when you switch to closed circuit. They have their place, but it certainly isn't for your everyday diving. Just because they're 'cool' doesn't mean they're necessary. And trimix... why do you need trimix? IMO, you should have a need for trimix (and CCs) and not just a desire.

I need to stay clearheaded at 130'
ut:I second the trimix - GUE (and another agency to follow, was it TDI?) has already come out with a recreational Triox course.
Heck, I wish I could dive Trimix on dives starting around 100-120 feet. It would be cool have training that would allow me to use Trimix in a similar fashion to nitrox. Get the clear headedness (is that even a word???) that trimix offers without doing true decompression diving. I don't necessarily want to go to 300 feet on mix, but I wouldn't mind the advantages of it around 150 feet.
