Firewalker, now there's funny fellow.
Maddiver, it's good to have you on board and thanks again for the scooter tips. I do a lot of diving in Indonesia where most have never even heard of such things as EAN, let alone DIR and as such, diving DIR is impossible in such a place. The alternative would be to travel somewhere else, which is an alternative that i politely decline. I take DIR seriously up to a point, but that point ends where i pick up the camera and start shooting macro or fish portraits in relatively uncharted waters.
I would unhesitatingly dive non-DIR (again, up to a point, and within my own conservative limits) if i could sneak it in on a business trip.
