James, "Hogarthian" is a term used to describe the original diving
equipment configuration developed by William Hogarth Main and later
refined by the Woodville Karst Plain Project.  DIR, which stands for
Doing it Right, is a term often applied to the current state of the
gear configuration, but goes further.  DIR is more than just
a particular gear configuration, although this is the most essential
part.  DIR is also a combination of attitude, knowledge, discipline,
and survival capability.  The DIR gear config makes it easy to develop
the other (essential) parts, which are together a philosophy for
maximizing diving safety.  See "Doing it Right II".
