I can only speak for myself on this and it is not a criticism of the system just a personal observation.
I already have all my own kit, a lot of which is not DIR (Custom Divers TDB wing for example) I cannot afford to change it all right now, but I could go more DIR over time as and when I replace stuff. This applies to the missus too. So reason #1 is money.
Also I am half way through my cave training and dive European sites and will continue to do so. There are some discrepancies between my current training and the DIR approach and I wish to complete what I am doing (and have paid for) before I review whether or not I could be more/fully DIR in my cave diving (or whether I want to continue paying large sums of money to look at boring rock
) Reason #2 therefore is is I don't yet buy into everything that the DIR system (as it stands at the minute) has to say.
I do love the pro-safety, team based, no-compromise attitude that the DIR system preaches. I think this is unparalleled anywhere else in sport diving.
