Honestly, I wouldn't dive that much except for in pools as we dont get to the beach hardly ever, so until the novelty wears off I'm having fun, after that its craigslist for a 50% return, better than my other hobbies that's f s. These are fun enough I will likely plan a flight vacation around them, for power snorkeling purposes. I followed basic dive rules and it was great! If I choose to bear the cost and make reasonably safe choices with it, there's no logic against microdiving I can see unless someone can prove the equipment is prone to fail (which if you can I'll listen!) this was the most fun we'd had in years and years. Would I dive under an abuttment with one or under a dock or out into current? nope, but I would dive down 10-20 feet occasionally to look at a starfish in a lagoon, then come up to continue snorkeling, to me this is better than diving because of no rigamarole whatsoever, simply go.
