Rebreather mentality/in tune with body and environment.

A quote I took from Bletso

"Early on, most of the fatalities seemed to involve very experienced OC divers (most doing very advanced dives). It appeared to me that these divers had not developed a 'rebreather mentality' before setting off to do their very deep or extended profiles with their new toys.

One of the hardest things to impress upon rebreather students is the need to start from the begining when switching over to rebreathers. Unlike OC, one has to be much more in tune with your body, the environment, and the equipment. "

Started me thinking....

what is a rebreather mentality?

In what way do you have to be much more in tune with your body and the the environment (the equipment bit seems more obvious) ?

Apologies if this has been done before... just point me in the right direction.


Thanks

Martin
