Trey, Let me begin by saying I am NOT critizing DIR. I am merely trying to understand it. You have described below two different locations for the same item for two different dive types. I thought that one of the primary catalysts behind DIR was carry over from one dive type to another. This particular placement does not carry over. Is there a reason? Are there any other caveats to the DIR setup?
