Review Diving the Avelo System

[Jai Bar]

Still not sure why one would need to rely on a battery-dependent system with multiple failure points: battery itself, charging connectors, wiring, operating switch, pump with all its parts, etc) and for what? Buoyancy control??

It doesn't come to solve any problem, and whatever it "solves" creates more potential issues.. Seems like a gimmick trying to reinvent something that works just fine.

We shouldn't be against new technology development and innovation in scuba- on the opposite- but this thing just isn'it one of these.

I have similar thoughts. The tank seems pretty awesome but only if you can get it up to 300 bar and make a real difference in the gas you have available. If you start getting complicated with a battery and pump, why not just go closed circuit and be able to stay down all day. IMHO.
