"I see it as a clash with human nature. Divers
are going to solo. Simple. So a diver who is planning for a solo dive, intentional or not, should not rely on a system that isn't functional without a buddy. Well, MHK's opinion aside, I think that a lot of DIR stuff would work fine for a diver in a solo situation."
I disagree and wouldn't advocate any configuration, DIR or Stroke that dosen't have a redundant air supply either solo or buddy diving.
How many lives could have been saved if redundant air supplies were mandatory for everyone solo or buddy teams? To me that's part of doing it right anything less is wrong, IMO.
