JT, you, Susan, bigbird and others have missed the point. They can dive with an armload of bottom timers. That's their business. Who gives a root. But 1) they shouldn't kid themselves that it's DIR. 2) they shouldn't try to convince others that it's DIR. When the personal preference crowd like Susan & bigbird mess with the DIR concept, look what happens, they start spreading and encouraging ignorant idiocy like this..... >"My understanding is that the DIR method includes the >reduction of clutter and the minimizing of potential >failure points. Can you really consider a backup BT as >clutter, or an additional failure point? How are people >configuring this backup timer on their gear where it is >considered clutter? I choose not to wear my BT on my >wrist, but on a console, clipped on the left d ring as >in DIR. Is this extra 4 inches of console clutter? " This person is now claiming that diving with a goddamn console is DIR!!!! If susan just wants to say "I dive with a back-up bottom timer." That's her business. If she wants to tell people that what she's diving is DIR, she'll get corrected. rgds billyw -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
