Hi all,

Do you guys think that a good fitness level is more important for a rebreather diver than for an open circuit diver?

I don't necessarily speak about technical deep divers, just rebreather divers in general. Several factors could explain why a rebreather diver should have a higher level of fitness (WOB, O2 consumption, weight of the rebreather and the bail-out tank, etc).

So what's your opinion about that?

Cheers
