I too am a "DIR newbie". I was lucky enough to be able to try a long hose reg and backplate/harness/wings for the first time in a pool this past weekend. I posted a descrition of my experience over on scubadiving.com -- hope this is helpful.

I have been reading about DIR diving since hearing about it on this board a few weeks ago. Some advocators see,m very passionate about DIR indeed.

Another excellent DIR/tech site to check out is http://www.dis-uk.org/
and http://www.h2oadventuregear.com/productinfo/regconfig.html
I have only been diving for a short while really and only have around 20 or so dives to my name. But i'm keen to minimalise my kit. DIR looks like a good place to start from what i have read on the http://www.

If you want to get DIR info straight from the horses mouth, try accessing http://www.sfdj.com/dive/dir1.htm

Very informative and George does a good job explaining "why".

DIR 1 is the better of the two streaming videos.
