| Minimum amount of diving to keep proficient with ECCR?
I dive BR80 now, but considering switching to a CCR (Orobouros) for various reasons, size being number one. RB80 with steel cylinders weights more than i do, is too bulky and borderline unmanageable in the current.
RB80 is a very simple unit and reading Orobouros manual, i am getting a feeling it's one of the more complex ones.
The question is - once you familiarize yourself with a particular unit (say 50 hrs) what do people feel is the minimum amount of diving per month that they require to maintain competency? Once a week, every two weeks? I know it would be different for various divers, but there have got to be a minimum frequency beyond which CCR becomes too dangerous. I also have a feeling that this minimum is higher than with OC or SCR.
I have too many competing interests, some of which, like flying, also require considerable time commitments and min frequency, so just trying to figure out how it all fits.
Thanks |
