there is imo 3 basic reasons why people want/use rebreathers:-
1) I want a rebreather cos I like to play with gadgets and have lots of toys
2) I want a rebreather cos I actually
need one to do the kind of diving Im doing (safety, logistics, cost)
3) I want a rebreather cos I enjoy diving with them
I suspect based on the type of diving your aspiring to then (2) is out, and seeing as you havent dived one yet then (3) is out
so guess your a 'gear head' like the majority of users
Nothing wrong with that - we dont have to make up excuses
I have 5 Rebreathers at home...but given your diving Id be looking at twin tanks and deco stage. Bags simpler, heaps and heaps safer and cheaper.
Spend the dosh on a less dangerous bit of 'gear' to satisfy that gear itch.
Like a nice shinny new Lotus exige for eg
