:deadhorse:

just had to get that out of my system
In all seriousness, I am disappointed you, or anyone else for that matter, do not have a rebuttal. I could care less what or how you dive, but I do enjoy a civil, spirited debate, and this thread was certainly more interesting than most of the others on this board.
 
i can only repeat myself so many times without losing my mind

which i think i just did

there's only so many times you can say "but 1 and 1 is 2" and hear it come back, "but 2 and 1 is 3"

yeah ... no kidding ...

Ok good..so we all agree that a rebreather is riskier than OC. Mods you may now close this thread.


...says the people that don't dive a rebreather or are even trained.






P.S. I lived through another dive.
 
but one and one and one

Cool, you can count to three! :D You're pre-qualified to dive rebreather! :rofl3:
Three sensors ... "3 H" ... 3 golden rules of rebreathers:
1. Always know your pO2
2. Complacency kills
3. Don't argue with strangers on the internet about RBs

I'm glad you're alive, because If you would have kicked it I honestly think I would have laughed...:rofl3:

I don't need to actually get in the water or formally be trained on one to form an educated opinion on it. The keyword is educated! Some of us are capable of self-educating through books, videos, and conversations with experienced individuals. While this certainly doesn't replace formal education under the guidance of a competent instructor, it does however allow me the opportunity to participate in discussions like these with a very good understanding of each sides points.

Now, back to the question you ignored earlier.

Post #61

Is rebreather diving considered technical diving?
