I speak as shouldn't, not being a rebreather person, but I've gotten the impression that a "recreational" rebreather offers fewer options to the operator to change things. This Poseidon unit is designed to do almost everything for you, including going through the pre-dive checklist. It's also a small unit with a short duration scrubber.
Seeing as this thread is likely to be viewed by people with less knowledge of rebreathers, with that in mind, what are some of the books on them would you recommend ?

Wow, this has attracted quite the crowd!
So is anyone going to answer D_B's question:
Well, just more info on the types, components, configurations, and typical uses for each type ... I liked Jeffery Bozanic's book "Mastering Rebreathers", pretty indepth but not over my head (much )... it's dated 2002 and there may be newer works in a similar vein
