My sentiments exactly, plus a good ECCR controller will always keep SP better than I can. My HUD will tell me the moment one of the cells is voted out or if the battery is getting low, I wouldn't find that info out on an MCCR until the next time I looked at the displays. If anything, I'm more aware of my unit than an MCCR diver thanks to the constant info provided by the HUD.

IMHO, there are too many factors involved in Rebreather fatalities to say with any surety that the reason for the lack of KISS fatalities is because of the monitoring habits of the users...

I think it is the same reason for the lack of... with PRISM divers, Both companies have divers who dive mainly Recreational limits or average between 150 ft or shallower on most dives.
