Incidentally the person that gave me a wee bit of mentoring on my last charter (my first bpw dive in the ocean), would likely be my TDI Intro to Tech Instructor.

Ah yeah that makes sense. I will probably wait a bit before buying tanks.Another thing to consider with doubles is getting the right tanks for your body size. I bought a set of LP98's, started the course, and it was pointed out that my terrible trim(face-planting) was because the tanks were too short on my lanky 6'4" frame. I borrowed a set of al80s(with a tail weight) and trim instantly improved.
If possible, try as many different sets of tanks as you can.

So, I've been back and forth with the GUE instructor I've selected and we've arranged for me to do double primer immediately before Fundies. I have to rearrange my planned vaca a bit but pretty excited how this is all coming together!Do the Fundies. Best bang for your buck.
