Ach, who gives a rat's bum what other people think? I bought a rebreather because there are dives I want to make where (I believe) the CCR is the optimal tool. In the meantime, to get better on the unit, I'm making dives that I could easily do on OC, but make on CCR, because exposure = opportunities to improve. If folks want to to think I'm precious for making a 60-foot foot wreck dive on a CCR in the meantime, they're welcome to do so. Provided one is diving the unit safely, within the limits of their training, and not inconveniencing an entire dive boat, then I say dive using whatever configuration you want. If your idea of a good time is using a JJ with "Sea Hunt"-style fins and a neoprene tiara hood on a 30-foot reef bimble, then do it. (And take a picture, because I really want to see that.)
