You say you want a less-expensive rebreather option?

I believe you're thinking of the more costly gasoline-powered snorkel. CO has always cost more to introduce into the loop than CO2, for some reason.

Additionally, with the higher cost of fuel to run them, more people are moving into the greener 'hybrid' snorkels manufactured by Darwin Industries (you may recall their motto--"Don't Mess With a DI!") which uses a combination of combustion and high-voltage electricity to achieve the goal.

There's been talk of fuschia, mauve and the ever-popular ecru'.

I'm trying to come up with something witty about bottom time. It's to far past my bedtime...
