Thank you. My point on the pool wasn't about complacency it was confirmation that yes I was going to test out my gear, work on buoyancy and trim and practice switching regs and getting comfortable with the rig.
My buddies are very experienced tech divers. I am still relatively a novice and am not afraid to admit it. When I had my free flow we handled it exactly as per sop. No issues. I am diving cold water all the time.
I came to the forum for some good advice and I have received that. All posts have been positive and provided me with good insight as to what sop are in sm. I am going this route primarily for the comfort of direct access to my equipment and the redundancy of the air supply. I am going to learn this system one way or the other. I appreciate the comments so far.
I agree also however that passing a tank does not seem to me to be a good option especially in OW. In a cave possibly the situation would be different but I am not cave diving...
Thanks
