| Re: When did YOU jump?
For me, i went from recreational limits dive master with roughtly 650 dives to nitrox, did about 20 nitrox dives and it dawned on me how valuable but limited nitrox is so I went ass over tea kettle right into the land of back mounted nitrox blender...I will never turn back...i wish i had done this about 150 dives into my OC expereince.
I think it is a good move for someone who really likes diving, has a need for extended range and is willing to accept the fact that is a significant degree of complexity that will take quite some time to get really used to and then some more time to really be comfortable handling all the little things that can bite you in the ass. after that, it's bliss, well, even along the way.
How fast you go down the path seems entirely a matter of ambition, skill, training and ability to dive frequently.
