Granted, but It has been 'popularised' recently by DIR. I myself have nothing against DIR/GUE/etc, etc. I know that this style of diving has been around long before GUE and even the mention of DIR. I often, and I honestly can't emphasize how often I get the piss ripped out of me about being DIR. The truth is though that I think there is tones of merit in the system, and I use lots of it. I just don't like JetFins.
