This is going to open a can of worms I KNOW but I thought I'd ask our members.I'm on a PSD team in Canada and I'm trained to use my Megalodon.I'm the training officer so usually what I say is okay, BUT on a past DEEP recovery mission I used my CCR to extend bottom time. My CO chewed me out saying PSD's are only supposed to use OC or SSA. What do you all think??? Do CCR's or SCR's have a place on a PSD team??

Let the fight's begin!!

I doubt you'll open a can of worms here (I doubt us Rebreather'rs are very objective).

Of course CCR's (utilized by trained and experienced pro's) should be part of PSD. What else can be better?

It's a little bit like asking us Meggies which is the best Rebreather.
