Rule 6 was an AG thing so I think it only applies to West Coast DIR.
I thought it was a tongue in cheek joke that you don't look cool when you're dead.Possibly. That's another misunderstood rule, since I had it explained to me as not having out-of-place danglies all over the place and looking like a mess and flailing around. It got twisted into this board-flat-at-all-times parody of perfect trim.
Well, so far the thread hasn't gone completely off the rails, yet, and I'm going to need to go to sleep soon...
Just keep in mind:
- strokes refers to "ego stroking" divers. its the intro cave diver boasting about they've been violating their training with their full cave buddies, or the full cave diver boasting about how they can get away with violating thirds. it doesn't mean a newly certified OW diver diving with a snorkel. it doesn't mean everyone who isn't DIR/GUE/UTD-certified.
- there has to be a more productive argument on RBW for the rebreather divers -- even posting in the recreational rebreather thread over there would be better than gunning for a fight over rule #5.

Always look cool is pretty serious!
