I know how the majority of you feel about this topic.
The number of these systems is increasing every year.
Licensing or gatekeeping is non-existent, and the systems seem to be pointed towards people that don't desire the SCUBA OW experience.
There doesn't really seem to be a 'right' forum to ask questions and provide advice for these systems.
I haven't been here long, perhaps this already has a better answer, but seems like SB would want to be the go-to place for people trying to decide if this is right for them. Equipment reviews, tips and tricks, a lot of things someone who just wants to play in the pool with one of these and would be reticent to post in the deep end of the forum here for the truthful and blunt responses they would get. (shrugs)
I'd bet the manufacturers would want to advertise there as well...
Just a thought.
Edit: I had a thought. For years, most firearm forums have resisted 'airsoft' because it has a reputation of being childish, sub-par imitation toys that no Real Gun Guy would be caught dead around.
Recently, concessions have been made, as points that make airsoft attractive to people that like to train cause them to be more and more frequently discussed.
I can see a parallel with 'hookah' and people that want to make a living doing husbandry without the negatives of wearing a tank during manual labor. Or people doing aquaculture but concerned about tank filling. (shrugs)
