I'm a little fuzzy on how I should go about getting tech and rebreather certified, as well as the costs involved because the amount of gear is bewildering.
I don't have any other reason for wanting to do tech and rebreather other than I want to do it and to challenge myself.
For instance, to get recreationally certified the road map is easy:
1. Sign up for a class from someplace like PADI like NAUI (~$500 for two weekends, one classroom and another open water)
2. Get your mask, snorkel, and fins (~$100-$200+).
3. Go do the classroom and open water dives and get your certification.
4. Continue to rent gear or buy your own (HOG first stage + two second stages + hoses = $450, exposure suit and apparel ($300 - $1000+ for dry), weights (~$75), computer (~$300), tanks ($200+ each), and air fills are $5 a pop)
