I've stated my views on this many times before.  As Rod has said, and I 
agree - rebreather diving is not rocket science.   However, neither is 
piloting a 747 jet airliner.  Both can be done within adequate margins of 
safety, but both require more training to do it right than most people 
probably realize.

Aloha,
