Hi:
I must admit I'd never heard of DIR until I joined these forums, and I've been very interested in what I've read thus far. Sometime in the future when my wife will let me spend more money on gear I'd like to try it! (just finished buying all my OW stuff so I don't think another grand or so is going to fly right now) I think a lot of the configurations make sense. One of the items I keep seeing among various agencies that hold to DIR principles are no split fins allowed, and that really has my curiosity piqued. Why do they say no split fins? I happen to own split fins which I bought umpteen years ago when I first got my snorkeling kit and they have served me fine, so I am genuinely interested that so many different groups don't allow them.
Thanks!
