I guess it might defeat the object of it all but I'm just curious.

Hi Rob,

I think you have answered your own question there

There are no dive police so you can do what you want .... but if you see value and strength in the system, why would you want to weaken it by implementing your own personal "improvements".

That said, the system does evolve, so things do change .... a project might require a specific change or enhancement but the DIR diver does it from a team perspective.... not on an individual level.

Individuals get loads of choice though ... like what colour overlay to have on their DUI TLS350, or what colour to have your deco cylinders, or what make of hood you have or ...... only kidding

Although the popular view is of a bunch of automatons, it's really not like that. Why not come to one of the Discover DIR days if you are interested in finding out a bit more. All who have come to the ones I have done seem to have enjoyed the day out.
