... and his philosophy is that I'll be a better Rebreather diver if I started on CC as early as possible in my diving experience. What do you guys think?
Agreed.
Many of the skills you learn don't matter what you do them on but the monitoring that picks up a fault on a rebreather is harder to learn the more exposure you have to SPG only OC diving.
I came up the conventional tech diving on twins route and although I learnt some good stuff I could have learnt it on CC. The only problem is cost. You don't really know a Rebreather is worth all that money until you add up what you've already spent.
