Hi,

I could not agree more...

The risk of shallow water blackout is real, and this is true for any rebreather. I don't believe that rebreathers are dangerous, once risks are known and mitigated.

At the end everyone choses the level of security that he wants... but as far as I am concerned I would not dive any rebreather (except. my O2 rebreather

) minus at least 2 independant ppO2 meters.

Should those meters "disagree", I'd thumb the dive and bail-out to OC. Period.

Kind regards.
