| I have certainly been thinking hard about it, we have a baby due in 8 weeks time so it is only right that I assess the risks that I am taking properly. In my case I have ordered a FFM as, like Mark, I believe that these go some way to improve your surviveability in the event of a tox situation. I would also like to avoid diving solo, however that one isn't quite so easy due to logistical & financial constraints meaning I can't commit to diving as often as I'd like.
I would really like to see more open debate on the causes of fatalities, every time one happens there is this "let's not discuss this now as it will upset the families" line that comes out and this stifles the debate. Obviously we want to avoid speculation but we are told to "wait for the facts" which never seem to be released or distributed. The greater our understanding of what can go wrong then surely the greater our ability to plan for eventualities becomes.
