Two of my dive buddies are female and did their ANDP on pumped up 98's with H-valves. They had similar goals as you, increasing safety on wreck dives.
PM sent. Interested in the instructor...

Deco with a single cylinder hardly seems safe to me.
I personally would not use a single cylinder if I went this route. I routinely dive a pony even in simple rec dives (tend toward solo) so understand the need for redundancy. I am also planning to sling a tank for accelerated deco, so yeah, real estate could get a little crowded.
Hence my question about a back tank and slung tank for added gas and redundancy. Then a third tank for deco unless the boat has a hang tank (I understand that some boats will provide this for advanced dives). Again, this is all "thinking out loud" at this point.
Edit: my interest in djtimmy77's post is in the configuration but more so an instructor willing to work with the student and possibly tailor a course to the divers needs.

Don't know if this is 'allowed" but you use a large single and could carry a small pony for redundancy and a small slung tank for accelerated Deco. I've done that, pretty many times, but it is generally solo, so i am only worried about my own gas, not someone else.
