SCRs? what is a girl to do?!

Hi
Ive started thinking about getting a SCR and just dont know where to start, what is a girl to do?!

Why a SCR?
I have a depth restriction and can go no deeper than 40m (I have a Pacemaker). SCRs have a similar restriction. A CCR would be a waste on the sort of diving I do and I just cant afford one.

I want to be able to dive longer rather than deeper and have even considered getting twin 10's (dont want twin 12's as I mainly do RIB diving).
A SCR really appeals to me and I'll also be on Nitrox, which is even better.

I dont know anyone who has a SCR, I may find that theyre not for me but I have tried a CCR in the pool and enjoyed it, but like the simpler idea of a SCR.

Any thoughts? Advice?
What does a new SCR cost? Where would I go.
Im a BSAC diver, is it worth doing their new Rebreather course or would i be better off going to another agency that has more experience in rebreathers.

Cheers
Sharon
