Shooter... I take it you are not a DIR fan?

  The majority of my gear is configured towards the d.i.r. diving.  I was fortunate enough to do my open water diving with Tim O'Leary, who is head of the NAUI technical dive operation.  He wrote the RGBM dive algorithm, along with   Bruce Weinke.  He sold me all of my current dive gear.  I have been very happy with it and seen its advantages compared to some of the other dive configurations.  I like the versatility it has in being able to build off a simple start.  I do however change some things to suit my personal needs( ;D SPEARFISHING ;D), and he usually gives me hell about it every time he sees me.  Maybe I should  start a DIR spearfishing course! ;D.

I do not believe however that everybody should dive with my exact same gear configuration.  I believe that is up to individual choice and what works best for that individual.  If I'm going to be diving together with people as a team , I think uniform gear configuration will work the best.
