if i want a little more bottom time at 100ft and figure a rebreather is the way to go why not.
because (ill say it slowly so you understand) it adds uneccessary risk thats why.
No. I think it adds some risks and reduces others.
Diving "safely" with a rebreather is about knowing the risks and choosing which ones are acceptable and mitigating the ones which aren't. "Safely" is in quotes because all diving carries a risk - and all divers accept a different level of risk. Whatever the risks taken, the basics still need to be done well. I think that is what Stuart is getting at with this article.
PS I don't like the personal swipes at DrMike. If anyone has helped me identify risks and mitgate them, it's him.
