Similar story
I did no OC trimix dives after my OC trimix course (well no real dives just using the Gas from blow outs

)

I fell in love with my unit before I even got it

Me after my try dive.

Suit bottle went on 2nd dive after course.
Backplate went on after about the 5th dive after course.

Trimix Course after 100hrs which was started in April finished in June, every dive scine April been done on Trimix mostly 20/30 down to 40m.

Still just diving to 30-40m but then I like that range, will do some deeper ones as and when but I just like diving the unit and its nice to play with in that range

ps I chose the colour of my unit
