eCCR is a bit too risky IMHO so I wanted something within the PASCR range I basically made two considerations; what is proven technology; and availability. From the PASCR range available the RB80 seemed very reliable, EKPP and WKPP do all of their advanced cave diving on the units. I suppose that the similar PASCR could do the work as well but I seeing is believing. Then I happened to bump into a unit with a good price tag on it... then all of a sudden my wallet went open and I found my self some weeks later in the cave practising.. LOL

Regarding training I need something in the short term, meaning in the next couple of months and in Europe, so I can drag all of my own gear along in my dive van. Before being ready to do formal GUE RB80 training maybe a year or even two can go by as I will need to do T1 and T2 first. At best I can do one course per year (time constraints). I dont think my unit can wait that long in the garage. Somehow it needs to be dived every oher week.
