Thanks for the reply. Well I don't dive dry neither rebreathers so I can't comment on those but for the rest is grease really required?? Actually I avoid using it on things like my camera and torch (unless I am somewhere clear eg at home) because greased o-rings become a magnet to all sort of dirt. Anyway I think I got the point.

Compression or Static orings do not need grease, so yes just keep them clean.
Bayonet or Sliding orings that slip in to a fitting generally do need lubrication or they can twist or deform resulting in a leak. But then they are interior and sealed and generally can't get dirty. On many camera housings you have a static oring on the housing back, but the ports are bayonet and definitely need grease. My inon strobes have a battery compartment that need grease, etc.
