Hi George
I know most of these guys and deep air is not in the make up of the guys
I know, some of them are ex offenders but as far as I know no more.
certainly when they have dived with me there has been no deep air stuff,
all use ENDs of about 35-40m. If they did different on this trip then I
agree with you George.
Being that I now use a CCR and I seem to be aware of your opinions on
them I cant see the problem with asking why the oxygen is a problem, i
assume that its because of the back mount, what is wrong with that?
Of all the configs I have seen the bottom line is familiarity with your
set up. Your DIR system has caused a lot of probs to people using it in
their early days up here, the left stage cylinder mounting is great for
you guys but I have seen some real laughs and confusion with it.
Possibly because they dont follow a regime that rivals an Olympic
athlete but there again very few do. Simplistic is the key, I am
delighted that your set up works as well for you guys as it does, I am
also glad that the config these guys use works for them.
Skin bends I know occur in all diving, including yours, if you have the
secret then pass it on, let them decide whether to follow it up or not.
If any idiot can do it then so be it, I suppose that some are bigger
idiots than others.

keep up the good work George
