Is it the fact that Deep Life is campaigning for all rebreathers to be brought up to EN61508 (as is required by law in Europe) that is bothering you?

Uhm... that's Alex' position. Not everybody agrees with that, to put it mildy.
Suffice to say that Rebreather's that for 100% sure do NOT adhere to the EN61508, like the rEvo or Sentinel, have gotten CE approval recently, based on EN14143 (the one that is leading for Rebreather approval and "hosts" the actually rather inconclusive reference the 61508).
so the "required by law" on this particular one is an assumption. See last year's thread on this subject.

ciao,

Tino.
