Was RE: This is inspiration diving and people are supposed to die 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 -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
