Dive instructors who are also salesmen want to preserve their sales farms.

Dive instructors who want to be infallible refuse to change.

Is there some requirement to be on the techdiver list?
I seem to have missed that one.
That makes me a stroke I suppose.

Take a look at the OMS catalog.  That stuff is far more macho looking than
the DIR rig.


Far more macho things have been attempted with rec gear.
Track down the "wah-wah" message.  It is a real eye opener.

I still don't understand how a highly capable system can be criticized
because unqualified people attempt to use it.

By that logic, railing against the "Expiration" and blind faith in computers
would get far more bang for the buck.
