The big step

So far i been diveing an OC system but lookin at Rebreather diveing on and off for a year now. Most people i know dive OC but i want to take my diveing to the next level. In OC that means going for a tech course. I rather go for a RB course and buy my self a RB than to go tech with an OC. My main reason to convert is that i want to try something different and evolve my diveing.

My idea is to do the Inspiration Rebreather course in the red sea and buy my RB in Sweden. My biggest concern abot RB diveing is after 5000 euro realizing that it is nothing for me. My best comfort regarding the issue of cost is that i used to ride sportbikes and can compare the cost of a RB with a smile on my face. Plus i am far less likely to get killed

What bothers me is that i will be alone in the north of Sweden and made fun off by OC divers. I also fear that i will overcomplicate my diveing to the level that i skip dives due to the complexity of setting up the dive. I will naturally keep my OC but i am afraid my Rebreather will be left at hom during the trip

What i am askin from you people is the nudge trough the door. Does anyone had the same thaughts befor takeing the step?
