The V2 Triton is there. You can even get a 3kg canister:

Interesting.
They've developed a new proprietary Monex computer called the NGC (next gen computer), now in colour with separate battery holder and their own HUD. They do allow a Nerd or Petrel to be added (not both), but the Monex/NGC is still required.
Wonder if they'd sell it without their proprietary electronics so we can just use Shearwater Petrel, Nerd or Shearwater HUD?
Not being a Shearwater fanboi, it's just that I trust Shearwater and have three of their computers which I'd like to reuse. Also the Shearwater cloud app is OK and very simple to use as it integrates exceedingly well with phones, tablets and desktop computers. Put it this way, I'm damned if I'm interested in anything else especially from a small company that could stop trading at any point. Same goes for the AP Inspiration 2020 electronics.
Interestingly on that video, there's a few minutes of people diving Tritons in clear warm water. This shows some quite different sized divers and it is interesting to see how the loop hoses vary in how they float around the diver's face. At least one has the loop quite tightly bent around their cheeks, probably impeding their head movement.
I don’t think I’m smart or patient enough for a CCR no matter where it’s mounted.
Rebreathers are a definite commitment in terms of both money and time to dive them.
Once committed and you've that first 100 hours on them, they become a lot easier and enjoyable.
Was strange to go from being extremely comfortable with my existing backmount rebreather to be very uncomfortable with a chestmount one, simply as I'm not familiar with it. Am certain committing a few dozen hours on the unit and it'll be just as easy to dive.
Having said this, playing on open circuit sidemount over the past few weeks has been lovely. So easy to dive compared with a rebreather that needs hours of prior preparation. OC: throw it on and dive. Simples.
