Re: stop or going on ?

I know we all sometimes get too fixated on our gauges & believing what they say, so it's easy to second guess here, but if I kept injecting O2 with no change to the sensor reading and particularly after reading through your post, hopefully I'd figure that something is wrong somewhere in the loop and bail out.

Doesn't really matter if it's sensor failure or another failure.... Get off the loop. I believe too much stock is put into "Staying on the loop." No data to support this but it's a gut feel that some of the Rebreather fatalities came from divers mindset of staying on the loop. There is no shame in bailing out and living to dive another day.

As to whether or not you you should give up Rebreather dives.... Only you can decide that one.
