Hogarthian is a word used to refer to a certain rather minimalist gear configuration (although the setup usually referred to nowadays is, I understand it, rather different from what Bill Main dives or dove). "DIR" is a diving system centered around the use of a Hogarthian gear setup, but also includes standardization of choices of gases, decompression strategies, and signals, as well as an emphasis on fitness and strong personal diving skills.

I'm not a fan of the term DIR. "Doing It Right" is very arrogant. Who says that the rec divers are Doing It Wrong? If they were doing it wrong they'd all be dead. They are diving how they want to dive and I dive the way that I want to dive. It's the team diving thing that I believe in.
I'm doing the way I think is right, who has the right to tell me otherwise?
Do you think "Dive Rite" and "Rite Aid" are also equally problematic?
