Hi Billy, 

I understand that wearing a console is not DIR, I merely meant that I clip it 
off in the same place, in the same manner, but I do not agree that it can be 
considered, not doing it right. I don't buy the statements that it drags in 
the silt or creates excessive drag. Please explain why having your gauges 
consolidated in one spot, where all the information pertinent to your dive is 
accessed in one glance is more complex than having to check two different 
locations for the same information. I do not scooter, my diving consists of 
mostly digging in holes and under hull plates, or catching lobsters, wearing 
a capsule on my wrist is not an option to me, it gets in the way, that is not 
DIR. How does wearing a console affect the "DIR Package" as whole? Are other 
integral parts thrown out of whack by this console? Give me some reasons 
besides "bullshit" and "personal preference", you never know, you may even 
get some converts with a valid argument.

Kevin
