As a rec diver - tech's coming, but not yet - my gear is almost completely DIR-compliant. I still have a couple hoses to resize, I use seacure mouthpieces, I use computers, and I have a large volume purge mask. I regard those as minor matters, though.
DIR is a holistic system, not just an equipment configuration. If you reject part of it, you effectively reject the system, I guess. I don't agree with DIR's stance on recreational solo diving, and even if I do my tech/cave certifications through GUE, I'll still dive a few treasured OW sites solo.
Ergo, I'm not DIR, nor will I ever truly be DIR.
