Life is learning - yes?

Following on from other posts

Though is subject to debate I would welcome some top tips wrt the use of DIR
sidemount in low vis pushing situations where the cave space envelope does
not allow use of manifolded back mounted twins or the close proximity of the
buddy.  I am particularly interested in the DIR philospohy for light
location, gas management, buddy communication over distances greater than 3m
in zero vis and the age old long hose issue wrt sidemount.  This question
does not cover the use of clips etc which is obvious.

Is the DIR solution in this situation just 'don't dive it'?  if so, isn't
this a bit self limiting?

I am familiar with other systems and am particularly familiar with the
'American Sidemount' which is workable but could be improved.  GI has
confirmed that a DIR approach exists. I'm curious.

Comments.  Or flames.

Regards

Mon Tindale
