gansell is on a distinguished road


I am looking to do DIR-F sometime soon, but now there is the choice of the recreational version or the technical version I am in a quandry over which to choose.

I currently dive a single 12L, which for my dives of about 30m max and 20mins (i.e) whithin the NDL, allow me a good dive within my Rock Bottom gas planning.

Now, the cheap version would be for me to get a H valve put into this bottle, and buy a couple of regs, which I could do for only slight pain to mr VISA.

However, I am IANTD Tech Nitrox trained, and may want to go deeper and do accelerated deco in future (and go the tech 1 route), which would mean a twinset, bigger wings and regs (oh and a lovely HID light as well), causing much more pain to mr VISA.

Currently I think that the level and amount of diving I am doing at the moment don't justify both the extra complexity of a twinset and the cost. But should I gho that way and future proof, just in case?

what do you think?
