I dont believe for one second that a MCCR is as safe as a properly monitored ECCR.

I'm not trying to start an argument, and I do understand your point, but....the fatality statistics don't seem to support this statement.

For the record, I start training on my COPIS in one week; I had decided early on to go with an mCCR, and was just trying to choose between the Classic Kiss and the COPIS when I got bit by the Meg bug. Now, 6 months after making my choice, and after having spent a lot of time talking with, and diving with different eCCR divers, I'm already thinking about ordering an APECS head before I get to the hypoxic Trimix.....

Anyway, it's my understanding that there are zero mCCR fatalities on record, so doesn't that make them, well, 100% safer than eCCRs, so far? (knock on wood)
