Also one has done 65 dives in total and the other has only done 30 max... This to me seems very little to be considering this move...

Just a thought, and pardon if I'm reading into the above too much...

At 65 / 30 dives, how are your ex students going to become trimix certified to do 'deepish' wrecks? Man, I was puddling along in the shallows, having a ball, for ages. The trimix and number of dives combined gets my alarm bells ringing.

Then, add going to a 'dive show' and coming back sold on rebreather diving sounds more like good salesmanship, rather than reasoned decision making. Again, my alarm bells, in particular 'this is an accident waiting to happen' ones which are now ringing with those attached blinking lights starting to flash as well!

I would sit back, watch and learn, glean as much information as you can from RBW and let these two get on with whatever they think they are doing. Something does not sound right, IMHO. I would, however, be delighted to be wrong.
