An on-going dialog around the science of extended range diving featuring a variety of provocative and often debated topics in the world of Technical and Extended Range Diving.

There may be too many rebreather Instructors actively teaching CCR without the necessary experience or sagacity. That may sound provocative, but after more than 25 years teaching CCR on six different rebreather platforms in demanding real-world environments, I have become increasingly convinced that our industry sometimes confuses certification with competence, and qualifications with true experience.
