Sean, ask how many of them are trying to prove something to themselves. Ask them how many people have died on a rebreather while diving with a dive buddy. -----Original Message----- From: Sean T. Stevenson [mailto:ststev@un*.co*] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 12:03 PM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Rhetorical questions for rebreather divers. In light of the recent demise of Eric Reichardt, I would like to get the rebreather divers on the list to perform a very simple risk/benefit analysis. Just ask yourself the following questions: 1) Can this dive be performed on open circuit? 2) What advantages are gained by using a closed circuit apparatus? 3) Are these advantages safety issues, or are they merely convenience/aesthetic concerns? 4) Do these advantages outweigh the additional risks involved? Personally, if the answer to #1 was yes, I would consider that the end of the debate. I urge you all to carefully re-evaluate your priorities. -Sean -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
