What is the best technique for bringing an unconscious Rebreather diver up from depth? Do the skills that were taught for OC still apply? Presumably, in addition to controlling the usual sources of buoyancy - wing, drysuit - lifting an RB diver would entail controlling an additional source of buoyancy - the loop/counterlungs - and also potentially monitoring and maintaining PP02. Is it necessary to teach a specialized technique for rebreathers?

Interested in anyone's thoughts.
