Right,you learn slowly by diving,not by taking an intro to tech course after 50 dives.
Ok,I think you're giving yourself the answer here.Forget that "technical" stuff for the time being.With just a one year old certification and 21-49 dives it's just not the case as yet.Dive for a few years and enjoy it and once you have at least 300-400 dives under your belt you might think about upgrading for "technical",it will come natural.At that stage a BP/wing is mandatory.Forget that canister light.
Sorry,but regarding technical,only experienced divers need to apply IMO.Besides,you can very much enjoy your diving as a so called "rec" diver.
Another thing:I would like those terms "technical" and "recreative" to be banned by law
And yes,those "Intro to Tech" courses are just one of the many,too many,rip offs.Diving as much as possible is your "intro" to tech.

Right gear?Is technical gear "The Right Gear"?The right gear is the gear you need for the kind of dive you're about to perform.the right gear to avoid buying twice
Right gear?Is technical gear "The Right Gear"?The right gear is the gear you need for the kind of dive you're about to perform.
Again 50 dives is way too early to start thinking "technical".Off course that's my very personal opinion then everybody is entlited to bang his head on whicever wall he likes to.
To the OP:good luck with your diving carreer whichever that may be.Enjoy it.
Good night everyone.
Is a BP/wing technical or just a better way to dive? the same applies to slinging a stage as opposed to a pony.
It is a different way to dive. "Better" becomes a matter of opinion and takes you down the old DIR road, which got a bit rocky back in the day.
