No Dr.Mike...I didn't know that.....just offered my experience....I suppose he did die from O2 tox....dang....you really know a bunch.....
I never said anyone died of 02 tox - i only asked if anyone knew if he had a tox or not and asked if he was using AI cells as i recieved a pm suggesting both. I was asking for clarification in the absence pf knowledge - something I think is a good thing to do.

Wow.....can I dive with you and be safe? Really Dr.Mike...you are SuperDuper!
Oh ok can see Ive upset your feelings. I only asked if it was true you had been diving RBs for less than a year because I found it odd if you have been how come you speak so confidently about how often 'in your experience' cells fail. You really had 5 cells in less that a year Rebreather diving?

These sites are here for knowledge and experience....I just shared my experience and Dr.Mike wants to make fun of the fact that I've been diving CCR just this year....ok...that is fine....but I just offered an opinion about the failures of O2 sensors and my experience......that being that if they are good when you start the dive, with my "limited experience" they didn't fail during the dive.........
The fact that your totally incorrect in that assumption demonstrates the danger in quoting 'in my experience' when that experience is so limited. Cells can and do fail during dives when they apear fine at start of dives.

anyway...I suppose I'll read and not post anymore....for fear that the almighty Dr.Mike may question something offered.........btw DR.Mike.....take a shot at a rolling doughnut! better yet, go diving with that guy from Mexico that took pics of a hammerhead at 200' on a single 80....
I have no idea why your having such a hissy girlie fit. I just highlighted you have been diving less than a year - thats all. Your the one who brought your experience into the discussion by referenacing against it.
No need to get all angry at me - this is a good forum with loads of good info -plenty for everyone to learn, just maybe better not to state absolutes based on limited experiences - as it can misslead some when the info given is incorrect as it is in this case.Dont be discouraged from posting theres nothing wrong with posting opinions or experiences no matter how extreme or limited the experience is, but generaly, for the sake of all, i think its good protocal to say 'in my limited experience' if the experience is indeed limited - it helps people to put that opinion into better perspective - which can only be a good think I think. If im not 100% sure about something I tend to say nothing and if i have to I quantify it with 'i may be talking bol1ocks' if im not 100% sure. We all no doubt know people who become overnight experts on subjects
Love and peace to all
Clearly your upset - wasnt my intention - im sorry i upset you
