What I've learned from this thread:

1. Stuart wrote a valuable article highlighting the basics that should be discussed in all Rebreather training.

2. Making the use of RBs safer should be a goal for all of us.

3. I'm nuts because I use an Rebreather for shallow dives where I don't "have" to. Apparently logistics does not have a place in this rebreather discussion. Oh well, thankfully there are no RB police seizing my boat when I choose to dive my KISS in my local lake. Personally, I like the flexibility of grabbing my RB and knowing that I've got hours of bottom time at the ready rather than lugging doubles or several singles to attain the same dive lengths. Of course, I also still like blowing bubbles on OC occassionally in the same lake.
