On the CK:
- flappy lips on 3rd dive on the unit, bailout at 60m and "eventful" exit from cave
- feeling the lights going out whilst stood in shallows putting fins on, spat DSV out and everything was fine. Air dil, ppO2 was at about 0.15 when I got round to looking
- wet displays; previous owner had knackered threads on cases and cal port. Limped home with one display and a lot of flushing
On the McMeg (homebuilt sidemount):
- demonstrated it's modular design when buddy attempted to assist with a freeflowing valve, improperly reassembled, leaked continually on very short dive
- display failure in a cave which required bailout to OC. Forgot to turn O2 off (doh!), got pinned to cave ceiling by expanding loop. In my efforts to extricate myself it managed to sneak behind me out of reach so I had to crack open the DSV to vent gas (partially flooding the bag). Returned to cave entrance, attempted to go back on the loop at 6m only to be greeted by milky white cocktail pouring out the DSV. Removed the rebreather and left it floating in pool whereupon it attacked my buddy (upon his return later, c**t). Display failure, runaway buoyancy and near cocktail all on one dive, I'm quite proud of that
Botched CCR Ray:
- hypoxia because I'd used a half-fill adaptor. 0.5kg of lime is not enough for a 30m dive

be more through in explaning how your will prevent the mishap
That's easy, er... not dive on bodged rebreathers...
