to rephrase Lynne's question - leaving the sometimes contentious "DIR" word, what can the recreational diver learn from the tech world - I have my suspicions and gave a talk to our club on it but would LOVE to hear other ideas as well
Not sure exactly what specificly we can learn but anything we can learn from diffrent areas or specialties only helps us in becoming better divers in all areas .
Situational awareness/buddy awareness.... where are you? Where should you be in relation to your buddy... how much more gas do you have.. where is the boat/dock
Sometimes one can learn how not to dive. For example:
These people have so much crap on that someone is literally having to drag them out of the water because they're too heavy to do it themselves.
Another example of being so heavy that you can't get out by yourself.
6 tanks on your back?!
What the heck is this?!
Yet another "What the heck?!" All these on someone's back? What the heck are all those connections?! Specifically look at the tank on the very left. ?!?!?!?
I adopted a single-take DIR/tech configuration right after PADI BOW, so I think I have a lot of experience with this subject, and I think I just answered your question in detail in my post on lynne's thread:
