I see no need for a RB if only diving reef or shallow wreck with no penetration.
So RBs are only for members of the "Big-Balls Club" are they? So where, exactly, did you learn to use your CCR? Or are your balls so big you just strapped it on and got on with the deep/risky/tech/trimix/deco/penetration dives you were doing before?


Simon,
I say, skip the twins- you've got the Nitrox ticket so you're OK to go the RB route. I've only experience of YBOD- I'm happy with it. Do plenty of REEF and SHALLOW WRECK diving for a couple of seasons while you learn to use it- and then, maybe, you can think about some DEEP PENETRATION!
