See, immediately, you (Jeff G) have blindly followed into the 'if its not the way I was taught...' Did you actually read the guy's posts- Probably not , 'cause Boxcar Overkill states he dives singles, no wetsuit, 5' hose. So I pray he is not doing any form of technical diving. So almost any airshare he would be involved in would be recreational. In my case, as I said, I can quite easily restow. Besides, as you are coming from the DIR/GUE philosophy, what exactly would you be doing operating without a buddy....Oh, and check the top of the forum- its Hog diving, not DIR. That means, other ideas/opinions/etc are allowed, before you get on your pulpit, making fun of people- "who says he does drills",etc. That's really just rude, and one more reason that many of us don't enjoy dealing with DIR/GUE people.
