Hi everyone,
Phil here. I am located in the NYC area. I have been diving the Northeast primarily for under one year. I have my open water and Nitrox to 40 certifications with AOW on the way soon. I am already into a steel 120 with Nitrox and want to move to a re-breather. I was thinking SCR to start. I know its a bit early to start Rebreather but I am really interested and want to take a class for certification. My max depth has been to 100ft in 0 viability and strong current so far. I have done no decompression diving yet but I am working towards more technical diving. Any suggestions other than keep diving OC for a while and wait on the RB? For those that think it is a good thing please recommend the beginner setup for recreational diving SCR. I work in Manhattan so if any of you are local and doing training etc. that would be greatly appreciated so I could get started. Thanks, Phil
