My wife and I also enjoy diving the KISS Classic's together. Once you get involved and with about 50 dives under your belt, you will wonder why you didn't jump sooner. But, better now than never. I know you won't regret your decision to move to CCR's.
Last weekend, we did a CCR dive to 256' on trimix and with the gear that we had, it was not hard to get out of the water. We carried 2ea 40 cu' stage bottles and our KISS Classic's. Compaired to OC we were alot lighter.
Check out our web site

Welcome on board and enjoy the ride.
Sincerely,
Curt
