Edit - ok, so it's not DIR, but bp/w setup, with the goal of moving immediately to DIR after OW certification.
As I begin my venture back into diving, my wife has decided to get certified as well. I have been extremely interested in DIR for the last few years, and just recently ordered my bp/wing. My question is would it be practical for her to do her pool/ow sessions in this setup, or should she just use the equipment provided by the dive shop? They said they use jacket style bc for pool sessions, and then move to back inflate. My thoughts are to let her try it out in the pool before her classes and let her decide if she likes it or not. I don't currently have a long hose setup, so she wouldn't need to contend with a hose wrapped around her during her checkout dives.
