I was curious if anyone has had problems with SM and rec diving locations. I have read a few posts here where people have had trouble with OW charters allowing them to dive SM. In part of my rational with moving to SM is that when I travel to locations where al80s are plentiful i can have redundancy. For the cost of renting doubles, I could pay for the extra gear required with SM. I am thinking about places like cozumel and bonaire. I also have the ability to learn it from a good instructor.
My thought process is that i need a new wing and am moving from singles to doubles. My instructor really likes SM and often talks his older clients into SM from their doubles for back and strength issues. I have also been impressed how stable they make him in the water. The money I would save from bands/manifolds would get me close to my new gear. I am looking at the tesseract and OMS profile. It seems like a system that will grow with me and is fairly inexpensive. The wing will work with doubles and a rebreather in the distant future if i go that route.
I have read the thread that is somewhat similar to this one. Since my questions/direction are a little diff, i wanted to start a new thread.
