No offense but where does common sense overtake the desire to be seen as DIR?

It makes sense to clip your O2 off at the line by the sign, if you were exiting in an emergency do you really want to have to leave the line to get your bottle out of whatever crack you stuffed it in?

I'm not trying to be "seen" as DIR. I never said I was going to stuff my bottle in a crack off the line, I said I was going to talk to a friend and see what he did with his. Doesn't mean I'm going to throw what I currently do out the window without some serious thought. That said, I have found several DIR approaches to cave diving that are superior to what I was taught.
