As I told Rod, I was serious.  I've let my confidence exceed my abilities
on the rebreather in the past.  With a new daughter, I'm not going to
screw around any more.  As it was, I only made one minor, non-threatening
mistake on the 30-footer, which was better than I expected. I did another
hour at 50 feet, and things went well. Bad things can easily happen,
though, even in shallow water.  Rebreathers require serious discipline
and caution overkill, in my opinion.  Maybe I'm a weenie, but I don't 
really care that much about what others think of me.

Aloha,
Rich
