bigpawn One size fits all? Let's start by saying I don't dive in caves! ... (yet) No one is telling you you need to wear one size of tank, drysuit or whatever. What people are suggesting is a way to set up your gear that has been proven to work and work well over many years. I myself have begun the evelution towards DIR and you know what! Each time I adopt more of the system I find out it is better than what I was doing before. Take your blinders off and try it! I think you'll find it's cheaper better, more streamlined and simpler to use. Most of the people I've seen who say it is not practical don't want to change because they have to much time, money, and energy invested in trying to make a bad or sub-optimal configuration somewhat workable. These are the people that spend $800.00 on a butt mounted light and are determined to make it work somehow! These are the people who were duped into buying dual bladder bungee wings and insist on making a go of them. These are the people who stuff their hoses .. Etc. Etc.
