Richard Lundgren is on this bord, what do you have to say to that???

Hi and thank you for asking

The official GUE policy has always been and still is that we don’t support the use of CCR-breathers. If this policy would change several safety factors and needs would first have to be fulfilled. A policy change of this magnitude would also only be presented by an official post directly from the GUE HQ.

Apart from this as Misha wrote earlier on, GUE is not closing any doors to evolution or new techniques. We respect CCR diving even if GUE historically have chosen the OC path only supporting SCR for more experienced divers.

The upcoming GUE conference in Budapest indicates that GUE is open minded but it’s farfetched to assume that GUE is turning pro-CCR only based on the fact that we have some prominent explorers present happening to use CCR as a tool.

Take care
Richard Lundgren
