Firstly I would like to thank all that replied. Your input was most appreciated. I doubt that there has been a thread here that has reached unanimous consensus for a long time :-).The interesting thing about the people that were doing the laughing is that one of them was the shop owner who has been in the business for almost 20 years. I guess there is experience and then there is experience. FWIW none of them are trained technical divers although a few are starting down the path. None of them have heard of DIR, WKPP, Hogarthian, long hose etc until last spring when I started introducing them to some of the articles I have gotten from the Internet. The biggest problem is that since I live in such a backwater of serious diving, there are no real live informed technical divers around to steer people in the right direction. Their sources of current information that they reference are practically nil, so they are making things up as they go along, based on God knows what information. I consider myself the most up-to-date on matters of technical diving around here and I am the first to admit that I know shit. I do know DIR rule #1 though, and it looks like my technical diving is on hold for now.
