Re: eCCR vs. OC fatalities

Gosh- thanks for all the help, guys. I really appreciate it.

I had a conversation with a friend this past weekend which devolved into the standard "you'l kill yourself on one of those things" arguement. I was looking for the information so that next time I would have an intellegent rebuttal.

Next time I'll keep my questions to myself.
You had a good question and I wish I had a good answer for you. It was a lot easier for Sheck to do it because most of the accidents happened the same area and the recoveries were done by a few people who knew each other. I don't think there are good enough records for the Tech or Rebreather accidents to do it justice.

But compared to OC deep cave diving the body count is not that bad. If you get trained and follow it I think that it is much safer than OC in a cave. But like OC deep cave if you make careless a mistake you can die.
