Kevin, more bullshit. this is what you wrote: >I choose not to wear my BT on my wrist, but on a console, >clipped on the left d ring as in DIR. >Why don't you answer the >question instead of getting your feathers all ruffled about imagined DIR >heresy If the question is "is an extra bottom timer uneccesary clutter?" the answer is yes. If the question is "does DIR incorporate an extra bottom tiner in a console?" the answer is no. Both answers are contained in the several available descriptions of DIR, along with their rationale. I'm amazed at how many people break the DIR system yet think, somehow, they're still diving DIR. You, for example. As soon as you add the console - bang! Personal Preference. Just like that. rgrds billyw -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
