Well, I'm 44 and I want to dive a CCR. Primary purpose is better yields in my photo and video work when working with marine life. I'm tired of skip breathing and its probably more dangerous than most realize. So I have a purpose rather than just being able to tell everyone I'm on a CCR. I'm planning to train on the Optima FX in Jan. Three friends already have them.
The two things that concern me are: 1) CO2 isn't measured in a CCR yet it can accumulate and kill you in less than 60 seconds. 2) The required pre & post dive tasks compound those associated with camera and video gear. I could probably say '3' task loading during the dive, but obviously I won't be diving with a camera on the CCR for some time until I have safe CCR diving habits baked in.
