This thread is to discuss my article on how we can minimise our chances of ending up another Rebreather fatility statistic.

Great article Stuart, A version of it should be in the introduction of any rebreather book. With your permission, I would like to place a link to it on my website.

Any of us who have had much diving experience have run into problems with gear underwater.....get the hell out now..is one of the easiest options for survival...I had a mouthpiece pulled out of my mouth in 65 feet under a wreck a number of years ago. Even though I had a great water trap in the system, I just went to my dil bottle and bailed out...No stress...no fuss...in fact I was laughing as I came up...(The water trap worked and the unit was totally functional when I checked at the beach)...

Here is the rule that I live by....no dive is as important as the next 100 dives. period. I am here for fun and I want more fun later on. Thanks again for the well though out article>>>
