Wait a tick here guys,
DIR, though maybe a Halcyon advertising slogan, isn't just a Halcyon thing. Doing it right, doesn't intend to imply non followers are doing it wrong. It's really an apples and oranges thing...
I for one am not a DIR diver, though my gear configuration is (I admit) similar. Before this turns into a 'Tastes Great - Less Filling' type of thing, I'd like to say: Use your noggin's, don't follow anyone blindly but listen to what experienced divers have to say. A very experienced dive instructor or even an instructor trainer, whom doesn't dive tech, won't know much about the way to configure the gear right? Don't feel bad though, a tech diver generally doesn't know much about teaching o/w scuba either. The two groups tend to not take the other seriously, often smirking and making fun of the other. Just remember there are some of us whom do and love both... whom are destined to be caught in the middle... I for one think that's it's both great tasting & less filling... equally.
Hey Don, so do I know now?
