Who disagrees with DIR and why?

Jim, you should dive with one of us "long hose" people sometime (that's not meant to sound kinky). My guess is that your config may need to be tweaked a little bit.

It sounds like your backup bungee loop is too small. Try increasing the size of the loop until it is no longer a distraction.

Your long hose really wants to be looped around something -- either a canister light or knife/cutters. I mounted cutters on the waistband of my old seaquest BC.

It is a common misconception that a backplate+wing will make someone a better diver. Not necessary true. A backplate+wing is a more versatile tool than a BC.

Regarding those two DIR divers: don't hate the game hate the player.
