DIR- GUE Is it worth taking Fundamentals this late in the game?

can't say much else except that it's harder on a rebreather and more than an occasional glance at the computer to reference depth seems to hinder that

Interesting, I have no rebreather time, but I had always heard it was easier because once you get stable, your breathing no longer affects your buoyancy.

Conversely on OC you can use your breathing to fine tune your buoyancy. On CCR you no longer have that tool. What works for me is to maintain constant volume throughout the system and just make fine adjustments by finning up or down. But it takes a fair bit of concentration and each time you change depth you gotta find that sweet spot again.

And when coming back from CC to OC you try to compensate the depth variations coming from the breathing cycle by using the wing for the first few minutes

Haha yup the first dive on OC in awhile is usually a bit of a brainf**k
