I'm just getting started in tec. I'm literally doing my e-learning now for TDI deco procedures. I'm seeing more of a focus on twins though I prefer sidemount. Is it worth the time to go through the twins procedures even though I don't think I'll use them? My goal is wreck penetration and sidemount seems to suite those needs better.
I'm also curious if there's a consensus on the imperial vs. Metric debate. I'm thinking with tec that I may have to go full metric and only do the conversions when communicating with others when necessary but otherwise doing all of the planning and math in metric and not mixing units (ask NASA about that).
It looks like the obvious path is adv. Nitro and deco followed by trimix then ccr. I don't see a use case for adv. trimix. Am I missing something?
Lastly what is the recommended experience level between deco and trimix? I know every instructor will have a standard that they are going to want. I'm just trying to level set something in the way of expectations. I know this training is a marathon and not a sprint and it's not a weekend. The experiences seem all over the place and it makes long term planning difficult.
