The report states the victim aspirated on her own stomach contents. In other words, she threw up into her DSV shortly after eating and then choked on the contents. Had there been ANY hope of self rescue, a crown strap would have hindered the attempt in this instance. I am not against crown...

You mean like a printer ink cartridge? If we ignore the entire industry that has cropped up to surmount the design hurdles built into the non-refillable ink cartridge then I could see your point. And, like the ink cartridge, they would cost stupid amounts of money for what they are, which would...
The only sure-fire way to avoid the type of behavior you are describing would be to require the user call in to the factory for an unlock code every two hours of use and put his professional minder on the phone to confirm the scrubber was changed. You can't engineer out stupid and still make the...

If I were a betting man, given the above data, I would have to suggest that on that one dive at least, you did not reset the scrubber click counter from a previous dive. I have seen this happen with some frequency as the "New Filter Fitted?" confirmation button is reversed (left button) from all...

Same CO2 monitor as sentinel. Inhale side, CO2 breakthrough only.
