And thats not a wind up either. CCR be it ECCR or MCCR is the only way forward in exploration or deep diving.

First chance I've had to login for ages and what do I find but Chasey talking bollox!
What's the WKPP done this year? Or how about DIR Mexico? Or the Norway expedition? Sounds like plenty of deep diving/exploration without an ECCR or an MCCR in sight.
If you want to come up with a standarised system for rebreathers that make it safer then go for it. But please pick another name. DIR means weighing up the risks vs the rewards and making the safest decision. If you need more gas than OC then the RB-80 is proven technology. The balance of risk for CCR makes them impractical for DIR as they stand today.
If I reach the limits of OC then RB80 is the right path. If you can't pass Tech-2 and the RB80 course then you're not experienced enough to use one hence you've not reached the limits of OC
