Ok guys I'm currently in the process of beginning my cavern and cave training soon down in florida. I have heard nothing but great things about Jim Wyatt and highly consider using him as my instructor. But at the same time I somehow got ahold of Jim McMicheal, and talked with him for awhile and really like the way he describes his training approach. But I have very little info concerning about Jim McMicheal as to if I just use him or not. So if anyone does know of him any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
As far as gear selection goes I need a lot of help as my local dive shops dont carry or cater to the cave/tech enviorenment. And I'm really hung up on as to wether I should dive backmount doubles or sidemount. I plan to purchase all dive rite gear due to the fact of all I have heard is great things along with it's developed in the heart of cave country. So some of my questions are which is quicker to learn backmount or sidemount? Which is easier to obtain bouyancy and trim? I would like to purchase my gear before going down to florida and if at all possible make some dives before hand to prevent being overloaded. Also what are some of yalls gear configurations for cave diving, that would better suit a beginner in the cave realm.
