Mermen and mermaids of the scuba world,
As a diver with a newfound respect and love for DIR (pause for applause and whistling), I have realised that a lot of DIR practitioners have little tips and tricks with their DIR setup, apart from the standard DIR setup.
For instance, the loop of bungee holding down the LP inflator, if tied to the side will place the inflator closer to the center of the chest leaving the left hand D ring free for usage without any hinderance. Whereas some would opt not to have anything holding down the power inflator to begin with.
Now this is an area of interest to me and an area of growth. Having searched near and far, far being the internet it appears that little information can be found related to this. The most amount of information collated in one place is the DIR video on youtube with George Irvine, Bill Mee and Dan Volker.
AG from UTD has some interesting blogs with reasoning and rationale behind some of the steps.
Would like to gather some insight into what you guys do differently and how it helps.
This thread may even help a recreational diver who is moving on to DIR to better understand the reasoning and logic behind DIR.
Regards,
Matt
