In Reply to: Can a DIR and a non-compliant buddy up? posted by Al Grissom on August 31, 2001 at 07:28:37:
While perhaps the most quaified to answer this,
I can say that my impression is that the DIR system
considers the buddy team with DIR gear as a single
system. So a DIR diver with a non-DIR buddy would
not be literally DIR. It's not the DIR system.
Aside from that, it's a free country.
Also, most divers are smart enough to survive
the risks of contamination.
