DIR- GUE GUE blessing new CCR model in next 2 years?

[RedSix]

Tech 3 and Cave 3 are there:

They don't mention rec3

They do:

I talked about 2008 documentation, there was not rec3 mentioned (Yes I own old course materials from several agencies, but also have new materials to see how things change over the years). Around 2012 I found that they had the T3 and C3, but there was no option to follow it. Seems you now can do it.
The T3 needed than to have a dpv and a C1 cert. Now you have dpv courses for everybody.

But here is no T3 or C3 mentioned:

I cannot find what I have to do for a T3 or C3 course.

It was mentioned in the trainingstructure in 2008.
I also have the requirements from that time.

Looks like an integrated canister for Sorb on the sides and the O2 sensors / electronics head in the center. Attachments for the lungs or loop on the top-sides.

Does seem to size up to the bottom portion of the bag in the first pic, but that doesn't seem like a lot of room for the lungs + reg/bov/whatever hardware? Granted, I'm just guessing based on a pic. Interested in seeing how the sensors are positioned in the gas flow.

I wonder how many people actually go for T3 since T2 is almost dead in the water due to the gasbills adding up rapidly.
Seeing more and more CCR divers it makes sense I guess.

T3 is a rebreather class

Actually I wouldn't call it class.
It's more "do some challenging diving" with an instructor you pay ;-)
