The best way to Minimize Rebreather Deaths ?

1) Limit the people who use them only to those that need them (job cant be done easily on OC)
2) Limit the use of rbs only to dives where the benefits outweigh the risks (overhead and/or deep OC dives)
3) Remember MOD1 training!

but given the recent spate of deaths and personal experiences I can only conclude that the best way to minimize deaths is;

4) Only allow newbie Rebreather divers to use them (Complacency is what people are dying from, experience = complacency)

The people at risk are the experienced ones not the newbies
