We do not 'modify' our gear other then adding another backup light or two
and a couple of reels when going from ow to cave or wreck. One of the big
advantages of DIR is that you are constantly conditioned how to use a
certain setup when you always use the same. Even for you that reasoning must
contain some form of logic...
Taking this further you will find even more logic when we all start using
the same setup, now we are even conditioned on how to use our buddy's gear
without thinking...
Dave, it amazes me that when a system such as DIR is presented to you that
you refuse to accept it's simplicity. When you fail to see the simplicity
and the sound logic behind the DIR system, then you are just ignoring your
own common sense.
Reasons for this are usually that you want to show off on the diveboat with
your CCR rig...or you like people asking "you don't need a bc?" to which you
reply "haven't needed one the past 25 years and last 100.000 dives".
Dave you are the laughing stock of diving, but one of the problems I see is
that you actually find an audience.

Regards,

THOMAS
