Re: stop or going on ?

jean, keep diving! that is if you can handle that there is some risk assumed no matter what type of rig you dive or how vigilant you are. I don't know of the incident you speak of. So far I've heard of one death on an mCCR. The idea that there won't be more is absurd. There are more and more mCCR's coming out and the number of people diving them must be increasing significantly. As much as they foster responsible habits, there are still bound to be mistakes or sudden illness. We should expect that every so often there is going to be a fatality on them. In fact, ironically, there could be a rebound effect that the low fatality rate fosters, luring people to be more complacent or attracting people who are not as attentive. There is still so much to learn from the near zero fatality stats on mCCR's, hopefully Alex can help us out there.
