Well,

I've heard the following repeated oft enough:

George Irvine (not Irving,Earwing,Boving or any other such incorrect
spelling of his last name) says:
><snip> and unless
> they have a real
> good reason to dive one, and I don't know too many people who do,<snip>

Could someone or a few someone's list the circumstances where using a
rebreather is appropriate?



Let me also add, as an electrical engineer who worked for NASA for 6 years:

It is entirely possible to build an electronic rebreather who's combined
component failure rate is less than that of any currently existing
open-circuit SCUBA assembly.

Will it be expensive?
Yes.

Will it be bulky?
Most likely.

In fact; it will most likely look very similar to the life support systems
worn by astronauts when going EVA.

I'd be happy to entertain a public discussion with anyone who believes
otherwise.



Kind Regards,

Joe West
