I'm going to have a very limited amount of Patience with this thread if it just ends up going into a CCR v OC thread - it costs less therefore it is right - we've done it to death. Diving air would be cheaper than Trimix too - and I don't choose to do that either.
If any of you want to dive CCR by all means do so - just don't clog up a DIR board with these views - there is another board which you can sing the praises of your units on as much as you like -
Rebreather World - Rebreathers for Scuba Diving - the next step. I'm not aware that members of this board constantly start threads on RBW to discuss OC DIR diving - so please afford us the same courtesy.
The principle suggestion being put forward is interesting - is it possible to develop a standardised approach and procedures for CCR rebreathers? Of course it is. Will it happen? I doubt it - far too much ego involved.
And I'm with Al - find another name - CCR divers have moaned about the DIR name for long enough - seems a bit rich to adopt it now
