Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I recently saw articles on Bill Stone
in (I believe) a DC area Newspaper, and in a sport diver magazine.  As I
recall, both mentioned the death of Ian Rolland while diving the Cis-Lunar
rebreather, and both attributed the cause of death to diabetes complications.
 Now I recall that at the time of his death, reports both here and in
Underwater Speleology attributed the accident to failure to turn on the
oxygen supply before entering the water, not to diabetes.

What's going on here?  Were the initial reports faulty, is my memory faulty,
or has history been re-written by rebreather promoters?
