I believe every rebreather or wannabe CCR diver should have in their book case
Mastering Rebreathers and IANTD's Tek Closed Circut Rebreathers.

These two books should be the bible of every CCR diver before they even get in the water on a unit. Tek Diver covers pretty much every problem possible on the breather with the solution to get out of the crap. If these could be put on a training slate to a print out to laminate they would be invaluable for team training purposes.

I don't agree..

I believe "mastering Rebreathers" is only useful to those that know nothing about rebreathers.. Its a reasonable general book on RBs but lacks real meat.. I thought it was a waste of my money...

The IANTD book I cant comment on since I have never read it and don't plan to.. I always though the IANTD manuals in general were quite "thin" on details the one exception being the Tech diving encyclopedia which is worth the money..

just my 2 cents..
