This is a very interesting subject and for sure worth opening again. I am sure that DIR principles can be used to enhance RB saftey and extend a divers ability to explore.
Start it up and we will discuss it.
I notice that whenever this is opened, some people come out with the "I am not worthy" song.
Although I personally think the RB80 is great, I also like the idea of other enhancments to CCR
I completely agree.
DIR consider other OC practices ill trained and under skilled so why not apply the same logic to CCR. Its a great shame that GUE set the bar for SCR so far out of reach of every day diving. i think there should be Tech1 then you have the choice between Tech2 OC and Tech 2 SCR.
Like many things DIR they are not the sole ownership of the brand. Its GUE diving not DIR diving if the truth be known.
DIR is now synonymous with teem diving discipline and standards. As a result DIRebreather diving is a complement to the achievements of GUE.
I only wish GUE had done it themselves.
