Hugo, old chook, over a number of emails, I have taken each of your misapprehensions about the DIR system and carefully and politely corrected them. When you came up with a succession of spurious reasons why DIR would not work in your particular kind of water, point- by-point, I patiently showed you how each obstacle could be surmounted, until you finally ran out of lame excuses for not Doing It Right. ( I especially liked your claim that singles are easier to fill than a set of doubles). When you twisted my explanations, I carefully and civilly untwisted them. I have been nothing but polite and tolerant, even when, through ignorance or intention, your posts became rude and provocative. But now I have to ask a question Hugo. You obviously object quite strenuously when we propose a demonstrably safer and more efficient system of diving than the deep air strokery you teach and defend. So come on Hugo. Here's your big moment. What's your alternative? What exactly is it that YOU have to offer, besides a history of teaching young divers to dive deep on air? Of taking their money and justifying yourself with rambling half-coherent explanations of how "they were going to do it anyway." I'm curious to see if you have anything to offer besides the bullshit, braggadocio and two-faced hypocrisy that we have seen so far. rgds billyw > >-----Original Message----- >From: Scaleworks@ao*.co* <Scaleworks@ao*.co*> >To: bdi@wh*.ne* <bdi@wh*.ne*>; techdiver@aquanaut.com ><techdiver@aquanaut.com> >Date: Friday, May 21, 1999 5:49 PM >Subject: Re: > > >>In a message dated 99-05-21 10:14:28 EDT, bdi@wh*.ne* writes: >> >><< >"My understanding is that the DIR method includes the >> >reduction of clutter and the minimizing of potential >> >failure points.
