Who disagrees with DIR and why?

To reply to your reply on the out of air business.....

I understand how the DIR method came into place, but I still do not agree it's the best method to help in an OOG emergency. If a buddy gives you the out of air signal, they are indicated to you that they need you to control their emergency. By giving away your primary you are giving up control, however temporary that may be for, you are still giving them control of you. When wearing a hood or swimming at different angles you may not always be able to instantly locate YOUR backup under your chin where it's supposed to be. You may be fighting the bouyency of 2 at this same time. It's everybodys goal to help out their buddy but you gotta make sure your always in a position to rescue them. Handing them my Octo just seems alot more certain. Fewer steps=quicker response.
