Considerations are the same as open circuit air, Nitrox or mixed gas plus a few more. These additional factors include increased risk of hyperoxia, hypoxia, and hypercapnia. The diver must take a meticulous approach to both diving equipment and diving practises when diving with any form of rebreather.
