A few months back, someone (I think either JJ or Ted Cole) was telling me
that an OW instructor was now putting all his students in DIR from the
start - single cylinder, small wing, backplate and harness etc.  He's found
that  his students pick up the core diving skills faster and are more
comfortable in the water than those who use "conventional" equipment.
