Rebreather World - View Single Post

Folks, in my quest to learn about rebreathers and ultimately decide if going for one is worth the trouble, I'd like to ask any and all of you experienced pilots, some specific questions.
I understand with rebreathers, divers train to essentially be self-reliant in an emergency, but you always have a buddy too. In an OC world, it's relatively simple, run out of air go to your buddy,etc etc.

But obviously in a rebreather situation this may be different, so...
- what kind of emergencies are likely to occur?
- how do you resolve each type of emergency?
- are some rebreathers better than others in terms of handling emergency and why?

I also realise, procedures will be different between various types/makes of rebreathers. Any info would be appreciated.

cheers
Mike
