I know at least three people that would agree with that assessment as a more widespread problem: Dr. Morgan Wells, Tom Mount and Hal Watts. I do not know Dr. Egstrom personally, but I know that he has long been an advocate of periodic knowledge and skill reinforcement. This is an important issue for rebreather divers that has yet to be addressed by any manufacurers or training agencies that I am aware of. > Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Cis-Lunar will require a refresher training course after two years. If you don't take it, the computer locks up. Also, if you fail to dive the unit for an extended period of time (I believe it is between six months and one year), the computer will lock up and require refresher training. Some will say this is Big Brother, if it is, I think it is an excellent policy that will prevent deaths and allow us to dive rebreathers into the future without paying even more for liability.
