>Q: Just a simple question. If she is "Just OW", how far or what part of the >DIR do you help get? I thought the DIR was a complete system. > She has not even completed OW training, so newbie would be the correct term. Yes DIR is a system, but it says to leave out what isn't needed.. so there goes the canister light, etc.. (your smart and can figure the rest) >Q: Do you long hose and double up a OW diver? yes long hose, no on double (depending on planned dive of course) > >Q:Task loading with the configuration. Keep it simple, even a snorkle/mask is task loading to someone who has used one before. > >Q:Would OW DIR just be the back plate and BC, long hose, second reg (open >water know as an octopus) necklace? basically > >Q: Will start to think of herself as tech diver without the training, >mentoring, and diving experiences. I can't answer that, but I don't thinks so. She is simply asking for help. > >Q: Do we need George, Bill M., & JJ to define an open water DIR standard and >configuration? No, we don't but there is nothing wrong with learning from advance divers. > >I do not want to sound negative about this but is she rushing it a bit. By >her own statement, she is s new ow diver. That is correct, she is new. But why shouldn't she DIR..? I'm not saying to outfit her with doubles, stages, scooter etc... Just to get her basic gear configuration correct.
