| Worst case scenario, even if you don't learn how to do shut downs etc, twins are just the same as a big single.
Twins (IMHO) are nicer to dive, more comfortable, more balanced, and when coupled to a nice simple wing and back plate are about the nicest buoyancy control system there is.
So nothing to lose by going down the twin route, except perhaps having to put up with the words of the 'nay-sayers' who will tell you that it'll all end in tears.
If you DO have the opportunity to get instruction, informal or formal, take it, and then your brill diving rig will also become a fully functional redundant system potential life saver.
