Diver one of sixteen to die using high-tech gear

[Groovekitty]

Divermole,

Thanks for the info - it's nice to hear your point of view.

What do you think about the story that started this thread? I'm assuming you practise good buddy techniques, but in the scenario presented in the article, apparently there was no buzzer going off (granted the buddy may have been off in Timbukto and never heard it - but you did mention that it is ear-splitting) - what do you think about a scenario where the alarm malfunctions, thus your CCR has the ability to deliver a hit of O2 at depth?

It seems this may have been what occurred in the dive in question.
