Mailing List Archive Mailing List Archive
If you have followed this list for long, or checked the archives, and actually read some of numerous emails to you then you would see at least the following: 1. Answers from George Irvine responding to specific questions, even somewhat dumb questions, regarding deco, equipment, rig, procedures, physical conditioning, diet, etc. 2. Posts and comments from members of the WKPP on the same subjects (You can look through the archives yourself, I feel like I've wasted too much time on this already.) 3. Referal to the WKPP and GUE web sites that give DIR information in great detail including: diagrams of rigging twinset regs, harness, and stages and the rational behind the way the gear is rigged that way; specific equipment recommendations, dive and safety procedures, etc, etc. See http://www.gue.com/equipment/jj-hogarth.html for a complete overview of DIR. 4. Referrals to DIR instructors and divers around the world (including UK) if you want to meet someone and see first hand how to do it. So, what more do you want, George to fly over to England and hold your hand? And, I see that you are not above a snide remark of your own, or do you just not like yanks in general?
