Hello all,

I'm a rec diver who is pretty sure that DIR is the way to
move forward.  I will probably sign up for a DIR fundementals
class soon.  I have about 150 dives in a variety of environments
but with strictly rec. type gear.  I would like to get DIR gear 
for the class but I'm unsure about exactly what to get.  I've
read all I could find and talked to a couple of cave divers but
sometimes get conflicting advice.  I think my best option is to
take the fundementals course with my current equipment and
go through what I should have with the instructor. 

My question is: Is it OK to go through the DIRF class with my
'silly' rec gear or should I pre-buy what I have gleaned to be
the right tech gear?  I don't want to buy stuff that isn't right and
shouldn't be used.

What do ya'll think?

FYI: current rec gear is:
Scubapro mk20 w/S600
Zeagle Ranger BC
Mobby's tri-lam self-donning drysuit and Weezle undergarmets
Aladin Air-Z nitrox ( I know.... )
Suunto Mosquito
and other stuff I'm embarrased to mention....
