| Re: CCR Cave Training In Mexico with ProTec
Diving an inspo or similar Id probably agree with you. Diving a MCCR like a KISS the only thing that will really spoil my day is a flood.
After 5-600 hours on CCR I have suffered a total of 1 unrecoverable flood.
After 5-600 hours on CCR I have used my bailout in anger once and that was on this cave gig. Apart from this incident I have finished all dives on loop.
As a result I haven't had your bad experiences and my own empirical data suggests the units are pretty reliable. As I said before, Id like an OTS counter lung unit for a cave to enable flood recovery. Also I appreciate I haven't been putting my units through the rigors of cave diving. Not that UK wreck diving isn't a fair test of equipment in its self.
Most anti CCR divers seem to fall in to the group who don't understand/trust CCR and assume they will break down and kill you every five mins.
Then there are CCR divers like you and Mike who see CCR as unnecessary for a lot of situations.
I would probably fall into the latter camp if I wasn't so scared of getting lost /stuck down there.
At the moment this fear considerably outweighs the fear of unit failure
With experience in caves I will most likely fall into line with your train of thought. Right now having alllllll that gas is a comforting thaught.
