  That is why (as Richard Pyle <deepreef@bi*.bi*.Ha*.Or*> said on Tue
31 Oct 1995 10:10:45 -1000 (HST) German military rebreather divers PRACTICE
buddy-breathing a rebreather, so they get it right when they have to do it.
  Also, I see no reason why some rebreathers shouldn't have a second breathing
tube to a second mouthpiece, packed in a small attached bag or compartment so
it won't trail in the water.

  If there is bull (or cow) shit to spare: OK: I'll have two hundredweight of
it to dig into my garden. That should get rid of it for you.
