Yes, but if Rebreather divers are more technically minded (and brighter than average), why are some of us behaving so stupidly?
No wonder Cee Bee despairs.

Look at the staff of any research university. A cleverer bunch of people you are unlikely to find but common sense is a very rare commodity.
I guess a sensible diver is better than a clever diver. I can only speak for myself but every single one of the incidents that came close to sending me for a dirt nap was because I'd either not followed the rules or got a little overexcited (case in point, my biggest bend: 15min at 90m with 40min of deco? Wow! I love this new VPM stuff!!! Oh, I'm bent, I wonder how that happened...).
Intelligence doesn't necessarily go with common sense. Well there has to be some explanation for Blair being re-elected...
Cheers,
Stuart
