From an unknowledgable anti-bias of DIRe and GOOey, to grudging acknowledgement to practical acceptance, this technophobic Luddite diver has come a long way. I've adopted three elements of DIR that are improving my diving: the wing and backplate BC, wearing my computer on my lower right arm, and switching from Force Fins to XL Jetfins sans ankle weights. Will I venture any further into DIR territory? Maybe, but unlikely because I shall defend unto, whatever, my choice to dive solo and with a computer. Were I younger and richer I would seriously consider trimix but since my "hard bottom" is no deeper than 100 fsw it has no practical application. And as to posting while "on the sauce", that is a false accusation. My recovery from alcoholism is committed to rigorous honesty. If I ever drink again, you folks will be the first to be informed of any regression. End of subject(s). Now can "we just all get along"?
