Diver one of sixteen to die using high-tech gear

[tbrown]

I've noticed the lack of team in other reports as well. They all seem to have a similar flavor. Victim had x amount of dives (insert very large number for x), and were found dead, sometimes by people other than their "buddies". I realize that these rebreathers seem to be the Ford Pinto of gear, but where the heck are the rest of the team? Is it over confidence, or the belief that a buddy would not be able to assist with a rebreather problem?
