Subject: Re: rebreather screening

You gotta have an open circuit option with a rebreather, either 1. as a 
separate small bottle attached to the unit or 2. a second stage and whip 
plumbed into the existing gas supply. Option 2 works best if the dives 
are shallow on air or nitrox. Option 1 is best for deep dives using all 
gases. I've found that the best rule of thumb for rebreathers is "if 
something can screw up, it eventually will", so be prepared. Total manual 
control if electronics fail and OC bailout option are two absolutely essential 
features of rebreathers. copyright 1995 R. Farb. All Rights Reserved. No
