Cheers for the replies guys! Yes it seems like in the UK is rebreathers are synonymous with APD. Since I've become "Rebreather-aware", diving on the south coast and in places like Chepstow/Stoney, all I still see are yellow boxes of death (debt?) and nothing else.
So far I've had a try dive on a Dolphin SCR and the APD Evo. The Dolphin didn't impress me (I'm a hi-tech gadget kind of person
) but I realise the benefits (uncomplex system). The Evolution got me hooked and I'm going to buy a Meg or an Evo in about a year or two. The new Cis-Lunar and Boris also seem interesting.
My intentions were to get 200+ dives on OC and do some ER/Nitrox deco dives before getting an Rebreather. One of my BSAC OC instructors is an amazingly knowledgable chap (also a BSAC Instructor trainer/Advanced diver) and his philosophy is that I'll be a better RB diver if I started on CC as early as possible in my diving experience. What do you guys think?
