At 10.15 EST on Friday 18 May 2012 wreck explorer Richie Kohler delivered this talk - 'Failure is NOT an Option: The Importance of CCR Checklists' - to the RF3 audience.

Richie Kohler told the audience "The human element is most fallible. We prepare and train for equipment failure. We have a great advantage over pilots who cannot jump into another airplane mid flight. We can carry bailout systems and use them. But our checklists is our primary defense to not ever having to get there."

Human beings will make mistakes and have memory lapses. Richie Kohler

"We need to approach rebreather diving with reverence and remain humble to it. I do not want to pay the ultimate price" stated Richie Kohler.
