Probably not DIR but here's what I use... Figure eight. Very fast to tie, secondary in strength only to figure nine. You can tie the eight easily underwater even without seeing it. It will not unravel or creep like other knots will. If it does not look pretty and clean you did something wrong - retie it. An added bonus is that it is easy to untie if needed, even after being loaded. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can always back it up with a fishermans knot. I rock climb and vertical cave and use several types of knots, this is one knot you can bet your life on. There are a lot of knot sites on the web...
