Re: Port Erin - Further Discussion

I have been following this post and the previous one also, but my post was shot done for being off track.

It is my opinion that we all have the right to decide!!!!!!!!!
1 - if the Rebreather has a design fault, do we dive or not
2 - if our training is inadequedate, do we dive or not
3 - is our health crappy, do we dive or not
4 - etc. etc. etc.

We all know that diving has its' risks and that Rebreather diving has even more risks. Then we go technical and still more risks pop up. It is up to each individual diver to weigh out the "odds" of risk that we are ok with taking.

If divers accept the risk, great go dive,but don't cry foul when there are problems. You should have thought it out prior to diving in the first place. I accept that I may very well die while diving, but will still fight to prevent it. This is just my own decision and you will have to make your own choices.

If you think that the risks are too great, then stay the f**k out of the water. Insist that the Rebreather is properly repaired and suitable for your use and you are trained and ready to dive it before entering the water. Just remember there are still risks associated with any kind of diving.

I am sure that the technoligly in Rebreather will improve over time, but right now this is all we have. Either use it, tell the manufacturer that you will buy if they fix (insert problem with unit here), or go back to blowing bubbles.

We started this problem by allowing ourselves to be the test subjects a long time ago. It will be almost impossible to reverse the chain of events now.

Flame on
