Hi Jon,
Glad you asked. Development and testing of prototypes are continuing, and a number of variables are being "tuned" in the system's logic controls. Other developments are in the works, and we look forward to making an announcement about them.
Regarding the choice of air vs. CO2 or other material for emergency buoyancy -- air was selected for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is that the device permits a diver to recharge the system from a scuba tank, after it has been deployed. It also saves the diver the expense and inconvenience of large or multiple CO2 cylinders. Other gases might prove difficult to manage while traveling, while scuba cylinders can usually be found at dive locations around the world.
