Some interesting new equipment Mark, looks suspiciously like a ratcheting tie down strap. Does DIR stand for "Doing It Regardless"?
Ha! Yes, you recognised it. My regular tank band broke in the parking lot so after fumbling with it for a bit, I remembered I had a few of those straps in the car. It worked great. I should patent them and become the distributor for Western Canada. You can easily tighten it as much as you want so your tank will never fall out. Plus the mechanism rusts out after a few dives so people will always be buying more. Any investors? After the dives I gave into peer pressure and picked up another normal one.
Another believer in the old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." And sometimes even if it is broke, but you don't really, really need it, don't fix it.
Mark proves time and time again its the creativity and ability...not the gear.
When are you coming up here again?
Thanks again,
U/O
