Re: Passive Scr Superiority?

A Rebreather is only as good as the user. Change depth with the wrong gas or not forcing an injection and it's lights out.

I nearly bought a PSCR until I tried one. It might be safer from an engineering point of view as a system but it all comes down to reality in the water. There were just as many "design features" as supposedly unsafe CCR that would get you. You still need to be just as aware. Add to that they breathe like pigs (I found the one I tried more tiring than OC), I wouldn't want to be in a stressful situation with one.
