| Re: Is Rebreather diving inherently more dangerous than OC?
All oxygen cells are sensitive to humidity in the gas being sampled. There is no humidity compensation circuit in these devices (nor could there easily be on a self-powered fuel cell due to power requirements).
Is this a big deal? Only if you push your PO2s (reading low by a consistent amount presents you with a hedge against DCS, but at the cost of increased CNS O2 risk.)
