Ok, Stupid question time.

Can I get some recomendations from the old hats..... SCR's seem to be plentiful and less expensive to start with. Is this a good place start, to learn the in's and out of rebreathers? Then progress to CCr's after a time or....... should I start with something, I know that I am going to end up with..... My interest is extended range wreck diving so I know that a recreational rebreather will not fit my needs for long. I like the concept of an upgradeable MCCR like rEvo or COPIS but I dont want to get over my head since I am new. I know you get these questions all the time, so thanks for your tolerance.

Scr or not scr that is the question. Most people are better served skipping the scr IMO. As you already know scr are limited in practical use. I went with the classic kiss great unit. Simple, reliable, & an easy transition from OC. If I was in your shoes now the rEvo would be at the top of the list. (Slimmer, better scrubber setup, better o2 meters & has a HUD) You can "upgrade" to eccr later if you want without too much pain. Get in touch with Dave Sutton on here. He has dove most units & eviscerated almost as many.
Take your time & enjoy your search.
