lamont:Gear is superficial to DIR.
This thread is dumb.
They can call me anything they want, I'm not ashamedMSilvia:Too bad GUE is in your profile, or folks might be able to learn from your experience with it without accusing you of being brainwashed, eh?
I did that a few times last summer, while I was still so anti-DIR because of the postings of some individuals that GUE training was NOT an option! I even dove a borrowed rig that had one once. I suppose if someone practiced with it and became proficient enough with it to be comfortable, it would work for them, but I hated it. One person I dove with several times refused to practice with it. She figured if it came to that, she would just know to use it. I never dove deeper than ~ 50 feet with her. Another diver had one for our Rescue class. He had practiced with it, knew it's limitations, but was OK with that. He knew it was not the optimum way to go about air-sharing, but made the descision that for him, he was willing to put up with the inconvenience on the occasional need for it to get rid of the "extra" hose.MSilvia:I'd like to dive with someone using an Air2... just to see if they still like it after an out-of-air drill where they either have to breathe out of it while ascending, or have me breathe out of it while they're ascending. I suspect it would be a less than clean drill, and I'm getting to enjoy those.
So do I, it's just misunderstoodShakaZulu:I have a sense of humor.....
