Jere was an expert on rebreathers and died using one. I am not a SCUBA diver but I want to get certified in Jere's honor. He was an amazing man and I wanted to make sure this site new that. http://www.lakeshoredreams.com/blog/?p=24 Regards, -Ben Greetings,

That way, people can read, learn and understand how to become safer rebreather divers. I fail to see how listing fatalities with no details of the events is useful. I can think of no other reason for this list being here, other than to discourage people from using rebreathers. Please let me know if I've got the wrong end of the stick.
