From my experience, the sensors will fail in one's or two's.....I've replaced 4 since July, plus my spare....5 sensors....., but at the start of a dive if all three don't read good....I'll dive OC.....

I suppose it is possible for two to fail "during" a dive, but I'd think that would be unlikely....the ones that have failed on me were fine the day of the dive, but failed the next am....and/or prior to the next dive...either one or two at a time....and who would dive with one or two failures prior to a dive?

O2 tox could be a culprit, but, as I've seen thus far....most ccr dive accidents lean towards diver error and not equipment failure.
