Welcome to Rebreather World, Phil.

I've got a Sport Kiss and did my training through ANDI.
The Sport Kiss is a very nice little rig, and great for its intended purpose, diving a CCR around recreational limits. I haven't ventured past those, anyway.

Small size makes it easy to handle above and below the surface, quite simple and convenient to operate and maintain. Standard BOV, choice of BCD, nice albeit expensive display option. Great customer service from Jetsam.

As far as the training goes, the instructor is generally more important than the agency. You want someone that has the knowledge, skills and experience, as well as the ability to teach you all of it. Having said that, ANDI does an very good job supporting their instructors as well as keeping an eye on them. They also take feedback from students about the training very seriously. And, as mentioned, the newer ANDI manuals are among the best available. That includes the Kiss manual. So much so that I always recommend getting it even when training through another agency. It's worth the money.

Anyway, for me the Sport Kiss/ANDI combo works out very well.
