OK, it's not going to be DIR but there are a lot of RB divers that would benefit from the approach. On the other hand it might turn into some sort of bastard lovechild of a drunken visit to Clapham Common by Howard and Chasey.
I suppose there is always Cedric's DIR-Rebreather... Anyone have any spare clothing in the Scouseburgh area? I've just shat myself from laughing and I've got 2hrs before I go home...

a couple of us started to look at this earlier in the year, as we were liking the look of the revo. the problem is that to do it properly you have to get all the rebreather divers to agree to use exactly the same unit, with exactly the same mods, and exactly the same gases / bail out procedures, signals, emergency procedures etc.
you could quite easily do a DIR setup with a breather within an individual team, who don't already have rebreathers, but it aint gonna happen for existing rb divers as they "somewhat unlikely" to be open to the idea of junking their entire rig for a standardised one. Team foxturd might wlel be diving breathers in the future, but we would be diving a "standard" and not "DIR" becuase we would only have a standard within a team, not with any other breather divers.
