I'm new to diving, but I already know that down the road (read: far down the road), I plan to get into technical and cave diving. I've been doing tons of research into DIR and DIR gear set-up and want to go that route. My question is: when taking my PADI AOW class and Rescue Diver class, will the intructors allow me to use a 7' primary regulator hose, a bungeed back-up reg, and not wear a snorkel? I'll be doing my dives in a quarry here in VA, so I don't really see the need for a snorkle. Also, since I know that down the road I'll be using a more tech-style set-up, I don't see any reason to wait to start diving that way.
Thanks,
