Do SEALs use Draeger systems more than bubble systems? I watched the documentary, on second phase. I also noticed that the students didn't do any drills with the Draeger, like they did with semi-closed systems. Can someone
explain why?

I guess I'll answer my own question.They prbably use Draeger, more than semi-closed systms. Since they aren't
deep sea diver's in their objectives.

from reading books It seems Draeger is used more but most of what I read is on BUD/S :S. Maybe noone knows :P

According to **** Couch's books they use the Draeger the most... if not all the time. That's according to Mr. Couch though, not my personal experience.

Seems, like the most logical useage for SEALs. Thanks for your input.

Yeah, why not? Since that system, leaves no bubbles to follow or count. Very stealthy and very ingenious indeed.
I have no idea why I said count, HAHAH o well.
First of all, if you watched you would see them swimming in the pool with the Draeger. As an instructor gives an interview it gets short because someone had problems with his Draeger. Second, they were either not allowed to fill too much of the students using the Draegers or they had to cut parts out to keep this documentary short (which was probably the case) .
