What fills?? Have you not read the million other posts about how they are using the CCR LAR-Vs with pure O2? Yeah the Navy SpecOps divers who are doing deep water work are diving eCCRs with He based mixes but thats not what this thread is about. Why don't people read before they write??????i think they are using heliums or trimix on their fills
I met a guy at the local honda dealer who had just gotten out of seals. Trimix trained, rebreather too, 35 dives. Frankly, he didn't have a clue, about diving or selling cars. He asked me if my reg vibrates to let me know when I'm about to run out of air, not sure what to make of that.
If every "Navy Seal" I ever ran into was real, the Navy would have had to train more guys than PADI.

True that.
I knew (know?) a guy who claimed to be a trainer of SeALs, SAS, GSG9 and an advisor to the PoTUS.

I think you're probably right. I don't think the SEALS really care so much how something works per se. They will probably learn basic theory of stuff, some maintenance, etc, but not the hows and why. Example: Don't need to know detailed theory, auto mechanics, fuel chemistry, metallurgy, etc. on how an engine works or an electric starter works, to start a car and drive into battle.My impression of BUDs training is that "you do it now or leave". Probably not a lot of time to think up tough questions and try to figure how things work. I imagine that when you are in the middle of that sh$% storm of training your head is spinning and you are just trying to get what ever your task is at hand over with.
I could be wrong!
Man, ain't that the truth. The only way I knew a couple of folks were SEALS was because I saw them in uniform and got to know them personally while I was in the Navy. Most are a pretty modest quiet group; about what they are and do.If every "Navy Seal" I ever ran into was real, the Navy would have had to train more guys than PADI.
