What do you recommend?

For a computer to do trimix dives?
How many buckles do you recommend, and where do you place them?
What regs do you recommend?

I have tried many of the Dir stuff, and have switched to most of it, as it
was a huge improvement over what I was doing, and has made a major
difference in my diving, but I'm willing to keep learning any try your
suggestions as well.

Please describe how I should rig for a 200' trimix dive. Not flaming and
willing to listen to suggestions.

This is absolutely knee-slapping hilarious:  all you DIR loudmouths
in a party rant.  Joel, or is that JoeL, didn't you say a while back
that you were going to ignore me?  Or did you forget?  I'll bet you've
killfiled me too, along with all the other lying bullshit artists.
And then you quote Mark Twain.  How literary of you (are you smart too?).

Did anyone happen to notice this thread was originally about a group
of DIR divers who screwed up big time while diving Lake Superior?
Anybody care to rant about that, or was the story undeniably accurate.

While we're on the subject of DIR, here are a few more of my "esteemed"
objections:  No computer (HELLO??!!), Scubapro jet fins only (the cult
leader has spoken), weight belt UNDER the BC strap (did I really hear
that right, DIR disciple?), only one buckle for the whole rig (you guys
must practice taking your rig off, lots of practice), DUI drysuit (guess
I'll just throw away my Vikings), Scubapro regulators (do you turds
know we call these Scubaflows in cold water, and I mean icy cold).  Want
a better system?  Start over, unless cave diving is your only diving.

Bye now, and don't forget to take your medication (ibuprofen, aspirin,
steroids, plus all those anti-depressants so you can deal with being
uninvited to tech-diving expos).  MJB
