FWIW 'We' (being a modest bunch of South Coast UK Rebreather wreck divers who also did/saw most RB dives conducted on a wing and a prayer) tried this last year and found that standardising algorithym (sp?) bailout and solo/buddy/team procedures to be the hardest part - presonal opinion is irrelevant, a good case is unequivocal.

We found gases and equipment to be relatively easy (common sense) in theory. Practice is, as ever, somewhat different. The environment plays a big part generally so the mix of diver types on a global site should be borne in mind (cases put in context for clarity) It was hard enough for us and we all did the same diving!

I wouldn't pretend that we had the answers but my diving is certainly safer for the exercise, it really helps focus the mind on what we do objectively, so a great topic for the collective experience of those here on Rebreather World.
I look forward the the conclusions drawn. Good luck!
Cheers
