Hello,
I'm new to the post but not to diving. I have been diving recreational for many years and I'm considering starting technical training. I did not win the lottery so I am considering either buying all the technical gear i.e. doubles, backplate, 2 regs etc. OR a rebreather. So basically about $4K vs. $8K. Have any of you started technical diving or would recommend technical diving with a rebreather? Is there enough redundancy in a rebreather to feel comfortable at 300 feet?
