Dennis, you are not talking about the RBC Odyssey, you are talking about the BMD. They are radically different rebreathers. And hypoxia on the RBC Odyssey will not happen without tremedous stupidity of the diver figuring his mixes (any diver who gets this problem would have at least the same on open circuit). > >why were they taken from the market? BMD left the market with no money, and a design for bailing out commercial divers who work deep in pipelines---that was what the BMD was for. It should never have been marketed for tech diving. what about the two law suits? Lawsuits against BMD have nothing to do with RBC Odyssey, or Cochran, or cis-lunar, or anyone else.
