Who disagrees with DIR and why?

GHosch,

Did you read the article on Hogarthian Gear Configuration? More importantly did you take note of the author? The information may be 7 years old, and granted people change with time, but I found the conclusion to be very much in line with my own thoughts on equipment.

“The next decade of diving will undoubtedly be full of excitement and prodigious change. Undoubtedly, equipment advancements will continue and many exciting advancements are bound to grace the diving world. Yet, regardless of the level of change beyond the year 2000, two things will undoubtedly remain constant: there will always be new equipment for people to obsess over, and there will always be people arguing over how that equipment should be configured. Your response to these arguments should be based on your actual diving needs, and on the requirements of your diving environment.”
