During training for OW we took our gear off completely before 
climbing into the boat. I also found that it was easier clambering 
over the side of an inflatable if the gear was off first. This was with 
a jacket type BC. I don't see why it would be any different for DIR. 
However I am not saying that I would put a QR onto DR but there is 
some reasons why it might be useful.
