How about using a large-breasted blonde as the model and then play 
particular attention to the shoulder strap configuration, hose routing 
and crotch strap adjustment. I don't know about you guys but a babe with 
doubles on does something to me.

I would also like to see some underwater shots done in a pool or 
someplace which provides contrast to demonstrate multiple stage handling 
and other stuff which people have a hard time picturing. Also show how 
you configure DIR for ocean diving, ie, reel, bag, tools configuration. 
Put some more emphasis on ocean diving rather than cave diving to help 
squelch the "that's a cavers setup" folks.

A comparison with a "doing it wrong" setup underwater would be 
enlightening as well. You know, show someone trying to re-stuff their 
hose, remove and replace a butt-mounted light, etc.

I would also like to see the arguments vis-a-vis long and short 
corrugated inflater hoses.

Oh yeah, have a segment showing how to use cavers line to replace zip 
ties.
