I failed to mention I am getting the entire prism, with BOV, bottles and first 3 class modules for the same 9k.
I live on the lake. So the training comes to me.
I am listening and valuing the opinions given. Reviewing to see if I have missed anything. Obviously this is a big ticket item. I am and have been reading researching a lot and really weighing out the options. All of them. So please keep them coming. If there is something I haven’t thought of I want to consider it before I pull the trigger. .

JJ’s are pretty bombproof, although I don’t know who teaches on them in the US.
I can recommend Wayne Fisch without hesitation, and I believe that he travels for training. An awesome instructor, have done training through Helitrox with him (including OC tech and advanced wreck).
I can also recommend the JJ without hesitation. Yeah, I'm only trained on one unit, so that means that my opinion on that topic isn't worth much, but it's an awesome, solid, beautifully designed rebreather that dives wonderfully and is easy to build and maintain.
