Re: The dreaded 'recreational rebreather' question!

Quote:
i take it you're saying that without doing the dives that would require a Rebreather, it's not worth the risk?
that's a personal assessment i guess.

personally id say its definitely not

Rebreather diving is far riskier. Rebreather diving is far more complicated and more hassle (compared to oc recreational diving)

its so refreshing to just throw a set of twins on your back if that's applicable to the dive.

Ive been diving mostly OC over the last few months because the dives Ive been doing over last few months are safer and easier on OC. When that changes Ill be diving one of my RBs.

I try to use the right tool for the job.

Bare in mind if diving of a lob or with an oc buddy you may not be able to reap the extended dive time benefits. in that case you will be doing same dives as oc buddy only with greatly increased risk and hassle.
