I should've mentioned that I already understand some of the basics behind CCRs. Would the CCR course be able to cover the physics? Why would extensive deco training be needed, if I'm not planning to go into deco? Even the PADI OW air tables cover emergency deco to an extent. My dive computers (I'd carry at least two for CCR diving) should be able to handle it as well.
You might want to rethink the part of using OC computers on a CCR. They can be used on SCR somewhat, but since a CCR is constant pO2 and your OC computers assumes Consant f02 you might find them not to be as much help as you would think.
As for not going thought with Advance Nitrox or Deco, that is your call, but what you can learn from these classes may prove to be needed some day. Since as you said none of your dive buddies know anything about CCR diving or tec Diving, you are basicly diving solo on the rig.
