The best advice is to get hold of an instructor that teaches a few units (JJ rEvo xccr (probably too heavy) and get some try dives in, even if you spent a few hundred on try dives with a decent instructor it will save you massively compared to buying a unit getting the cert and then falling out of love with it,
Next you need to consider how easy it is to travel with (contrary to a recent discussion I had on here I can assure you a JJ for instance can go on a flight in a mixture of hand and hold luggage and isn’t terrifically heavy , cylinders you obviously arrange at destination)
Finally you must look at 2 reality aspects, how reliable is the machine (AP heads for instance are forever suffering return to manufacturer issues, one of my friends kneels so firmly at their alter he won’t have a bad word said against them,,, he owns 2 heads though
)
And where will it go for and how much is servicing?? liberty,,
,
Ps Poseidon ccr , mares horizon, and some others that are no longer made I’m not even going to go there…
