"When is it ok to dive non-dir if you are a DIR advocate? For example, if you were on a business trip to miami and wanted to dive say Lauderdale by the sea (easy beach dive with non surf entry 15-25 ft deep)"
I don't know you sound kinda unsure. Maybe you should bail if the dive is going to be that difficult. This certainly sounds like you need full DIR armamment SSplates, twins, backups on top of backups and full dive team procedures and safety divers to meet you at the deep stops. You have been taught about redundancy haven't you?
