Waterford Garda dead - County Wexford, Ireland

[helodriver87]

You seem to know for a fact that some piece of equipment failed here. Just wondering can you tell us all here then what was it that failed and where or how do you know this as a fact?

He doesn't even dive a rebreather or understand them. I wouldn't bother. He's convinced himself that experienced divers don't make mistakes, so it must've been an impossible to resolve malfunction. I spent entirely too much time trying to reason with him.

But there was an independent investigation into this fatality with a rebreather expert and the results were published Garda Dave Hearne who saved nine lives drowned in diving accident

A coroner’s inquest is held to determine how a person dies and whether someone is responsible for the death. I’m taking about an independent investigation as why the rebreather malfunctioned and killed him.

Are you trying to be smart or something, if the rebreather was seized and properly examined by an independent group of experts we’d know what happened besides blaming the diver who can no longer defend himself.

You should verify your sources before you post. A quick search re that 'list' would have shown just how discredited that list, the author and that company is, across all diving forums.
As an example this took 2 seconds - Apocalypse rebreather

Take that up with the man that published the data. He replied earlier in the tread you can question him about it.

But if you read that article you will see the Coroner engaged an independent expert to examine the rebreather.

Do you not understand that when YOU rely on an article or a ‘list’ to prove your point that the onus is on YOU to verify that data. It’s called backing up your claims with a verifiable source which with respect you have not done so, to date.

I agree we don’t know what happened but YOU in this post seem to know that it was equipment failure:

There’s only one explanation for what happened, the equipment malfunctioned and for whatever reason he didn’t get to use his bailout.

Hence why I am asking you why are you so certain it was equipment failure??!

But it was examined by an independent expert as alluded to in that news article.

The person who examined it is an instructor not an engineer,
