DIR Regulator Configuration

[Chris]

You make some good points Starfish, especially about real world situations and how you can never be prepared for that, but practice and simulations can help you know what to do in case it does happen.<br><br>I also agree that you should dive how you are comfortable diving and how you feel safe. I have never seen a DIR configuration in person, so if I dive with someone who is DIR (or close) I will get to know the gear before getting in the water. I know you should do this anyway, but in particular with gear you are not at all familiar with. One example is that I would have no idea what to do with 7' of hose without getting tangled in it! Will be interesting to see how that is wrapped and so forth.
