Experienced Advice needed

After 1 year of skimming the web, talking to high accomplished rebreather divers and reading any article about rebreathers.

i bought my first ccr (deffinatley Megalodon)

Its great that there is such a great resource for information such as this, really made my life alot easier,(comparing to when i first started oc)

i'm currently certified as padi master scuba diver trainer, tdi, iantd,dsat trimix diver and blender

I have some questions and i need some guidence.

1. Having been diving for the past 7 years and technical diving exclusively for the past two years, with an average of 100+ dives a year, would this contribute to the time it takes a person the get the idea of rebreather diving?

2. I'm taking a few month off and starting mod 1 and mod 2 next month, then for some 10 dives of practise then off to mexico for oc cave courses and a rebreather cave course. When do you decide you are ready for caving on a ccr(regardless of requirements)?

3. Having no problem what so ever during my oc training, and constantly peacefully pushing my comfort zone deeper in diving later. There is just a time that comes, where you feel you now understand what going on with your gear dive planning. How long would it take to feel that a person has a firm grip on operating the unit?

Would you have any advice whatsoever especially that i'm doing multiple courses in a small time interval.

Regards and i'm sure your opinions will contribute to my plans and expectations
