Hi all. I'm starting to move into technical diving training, I've started with TDI, completed sidemount and will be taking advanced Nitrox and decompression procedures soon. I plan on taking Fundies at some point, and I need to replace my octo with something more substantial. I'm currently running a Scubapro MK19 EVO, A700 primary, and R195 octo. I was planning on replacing the R195 octo with another A700, but I've read that old DIR mantra requires regulators to be capable of being disassembled while in the water, the A700 cannot do this. Reading the GUE standards, I don't see any mention of this any more so it may have gone out the window.
Are there any issues doing GUE or technical diving with A700s? I doubt I would do additional training with GUE after Fundies, I'll likely stick with TDI as there are multiple TDI instructors in my area but no GUE instructors. Thanks!
