Sorry Mr. Tom Mount, but all my students never spent more then 40
seconds to remove of all the equipment using 100% of DIR configuration(
the average is 35 seconds ).
I have proved to Afonso ( your representative here in Brazil ) because
he has been insisting like you, that quick releases are better.

When my son ( that is PADI Instructor ) was invited by Afonso to take
the Technical Cave Training, at first I told him "Son, you can decide
which configuration is better for you during the training, don't worry
about me and you can not imitate my configuration ( that is 100% DIR )"
Then he decided by himself to use 100% DIR and during this skill, he
removed all the equipment in 30 seconds. Afonso was very surprised, but
I wasn't. You can ask to Mr. Larry Green ( IANTD IT ) that was there on
vacation at same time. He saw everything.

It was a pleasure to talk with you and I hope one day to see you here in
Brazil.

Best Regards,

Zeca
IANTD Instructor
PADI Course Director
