Gledders, am booked on the DIR-F course running in Plymouth in July can't wait - should teach me a new thing or two. Have dived enough in the new kit to be comfortable teaching normal PADI courses with it (first dive was a 3m check out on Plymouth seafront). Not looking at teaching DIR principles (quite yet)

, but am working on applying them to myself and getting very practiced with my rig before the course. I think it would good to know where every clip or D-ring is instictively, and be able to do everything neutral and horizontal.
Was wondering if any instructors or DIR divers had practicle suggestions on how to dive one way and teach a PADI course at the same time. The mesh probably doesn't work too well. Maybe I should carry a couple of hose clips and stick the long hose on one of those for some of the drills, or perhaps bungee the extra length to my tank
Spoke to Rich W about what to do for the course he said only work on buoyancy unless i know any DIR divers who've passed Fundi's... .
