DiveNSail that article is really fantastic I just want to repost that link so that all who come to this board could get a chance to read it.

I see two major factors being raised by surface-supplied air (SSA), and they are big ones!
The Number of Dive Sites Available. By eliminating the need for a traditional air compressor, we open the entire planet to underwater explorers. Imagine all the sites where a dive would be amazing, but the closest dive center is hundreds of miles (km) away! With tankless diving, it doesn’t matter anymore. Just bring a portable SSA unit and voilà!
Dive Professionals Earnings. Scubanomics is currently conducting a study on the “economics” of being a dive professional. We will update this article once we analyze the results. But for now, we can assume dive instructors’ hourly earnings are dismal. We’ve all been there!
But now, with everything that surface-supplied air systems eliminate and reduce, we can spend more time underwater with people, which generally means a higher hourly rate.
CREATE
The big factor brought in by surface-supplied air systems is portability — not just of our dive gear but of everything we need.
Some of the SSA units are much smaller than a full kit of scuba gear — and it includes an air compressor! As mentioned above, with SSA, we can truly explore the whole planet.

Imagine the market that is now available! There are many more kayakers, yachties, and stand-up paddlers than there are scuba divers. We can get them all interested in the underwater world through snorkeling, then SSA, then scuba.[/b
