The more I read the accident report the less sense it makes. The 60 min Deco
obligation cannot be figured no matter how you look at it. The strange use of
the rebreather, the "disabling" of the "aftermarket" changes. This whole thing
stinks to high-heaven of a typical dive industry cover-up with, once again,
IANTD right in the middle. All you people out there who are considering a
rebreather with IANTD training should look at this incident very carefully, I
suspect we have not heard the last of it.

But based on this story the problem was too much air in the drysuit, a
seemingly unsolvable issue with 2 "expert" divers. The answer to your question
is to deal with the problem and not go to the surface. But to be frank, I don't
believe this story.
