my only thought was to buy some of the gear. at least a single tank BCD. even if i found DIR wasn't for me, i could get used to using it and continue recreational diving with that BCD.

1. Get the gear
2. Find a mentor
3. Dive

Just dive... If you have funds to convert your gear do so... but if you are tight on money just dive and replace/upgrade as soon as the funds allow. Then take the class when you can... and find someone who's already been thru it or a classmate in the same situation and try to dive with them as much as possible... Don't rush it doesn't come overnight.. it didn't for me anyway (DIR-F X 2)
