I have talked to helen about it. So far no one has
said what exactly is wrong with the kit I have talked
about getting. all people have said is, get a halcyon
wing. not why a halcyon is better etc...

I have tried both halcyon and diverite and I prefer
the diverrite wing. NOt only that but I would feal
safer diving with a no DIR diver who is comfortable
with his equipment who knows what they are doing than
some sheep who has read all the pages on DIR followed
it to the letter, is over complecated for what they
are doing and unable to use the kit effectively.
EVeryone has told me my kits worng but, kit is only a
minor part of diving, The right attitude is the key.

I only agree with people on one issue, DItch the stab.
