I live down here on Shikoku. I was looking in RBs about a year ago but couldn't find anyone to teach it to me in the area or even help out with pointers or anything. I've got a serious girlfriend now whos into scuba and I'd like to go off with her in the near future. Any pointers on where to turn for Rebreather training/guidance?
The only reason that I can see for wanting to do a rebreather course in Japan is if your preferred language were Japanese. A rebreather costs broadly $10k, and you would pay an import tax on it of approximately 30%. If you flew overseas, took a course there and brought the rebreather back as used diving equipment than the $3k of saved tax would more than cover the cost of the flights, course and accommodation. Or so I've heard...
