I'm just at the point where I want to  push myself a bit more when diving and start to do some planned deco dives.  At the moment I dive a single + pony with a BC.  So I need to spend a bit of money getting the right kit, wing, BP twins etc.  There is a fair bit of money to be spent to get the right kit.  Someone suggested a rebreather would be a better bet.  I have done some internet searching and found lots about the different options out there, but what a would like to know is how much does a rebreather cost to run, eg servicing, scrubber and such.

Also is there much advantage in using an SCR over OC for dives in the 30 - 40 mtr range, and as there is not much difference in cost of an SCR with an O2 monitor compared to a CCR, is it best just to find the little bit extra cash and go CCR straight off.

Any advice would be very helpfull.

Cheers all
