Re: Gue debating use of eccr rebreathers?

I saw a comment somewhere that I believe was attributed to Casey saying they'd reached the limits (or were approaching the limits) of what they could do with SCR.

Seeing as how they are talking about CCR's at the GUE conference, I would expect them to be evaluating if CCR will allow them to push further than SCR. This would be a different evaluation from 'are CCR's safe now'.

But that's all hearsay and speculation
that would make sense for those very few GUE divers doing these big pushes such as WKPP, and I personally agree that eccr is the best tool for the kind of extreme expedition diving less than half a dozen people in GUE are doing....but other than that handful of GUE divers the rest of them arent doing these kind of dives so dont need one, hell very few of them even 'need' scr I am sure. So I pressume the debate will be can eccr be DIR for dives that warrant them....interesting. I recall talking to JJ about Eccr and his stance was 'i have yet to have a dive where I needed one to complete it' I guess he has started to. Interesting.
