Greetings one and all.

After reading the thread about DIR opinions I remembered an article I had read on Mark Ellyatt's website.

I just wondered what everyone else thought about it.

DIR - what its not

Please don't shoot the messenger. I did not write this. I am just curious what others think.

Best wishes and safe diving.

Bjorn

I think it's been posted a couple of times before. If you look at the blue bar up near the top there is a "Search" function.

Hi

Whilst some of the language and insults made me smile a bit, I think all of those bends have affected his mind

IMHO he seems to promote deep air and low percentages of helium which I disagree with.

I'm not sure weather he wrote this or not (it made me chuckle though), he does make some valid points (regarding wings) and some less valid (gas mixes IMO). That said he did dive to 300m plus and come back... relatively intact.

An entertaining read, but I guess you'd need a crystal ball to know for sure
