Hello Deano2, as for advice about making the move to CCR, the first thing you should do is to figure out exactly what kind of diving you want to do and why you want a CCR. Are you mostly a recreational diver with some future tech ambitions, like myself, or are you mainly interested in tech diving? Or is there some other reason you are considering CCR? Once you have figured out your objectives, then it would be time to move on to which CCR you might want to buy based the features you would need to do the type of diving you want to do. As I've said before, I'm very glad I moved over to CCR and have no regrets. Even if you are just a recreational diver, it will improve your experience by providing you with more frequent and higher quality interactions with animals. I don't know anybody who changed over to CCR and went back to OC as their primary mode of diving. But it is a comitment and requires dedication, attention to detail and much higher level of independance than standard recreational OC diving. A good place to start gathering information about CCR diving is Jeff Bozanic's Mastering Rebreathers. That's the text book we used for our Prism class. Let us know if you decide to go CCR and I'm sure you'll get more than enough advice about which unit to buy.-Andy
