nauidiver2004:Yes, congradulations. As a new diver I am interested in reading about your ideas as they relate to gear configuration without the condecending tone often found in other forums.
OneBrightGator:Hogarthian refers to a minimalist cave diving configuration created by Bill Main with pretty much the only guidelines being take only what you need, and if you need it, bring two. It only covers gear configuration with one broad ideal which can be interpreted many different ways.
reefraff:Bingo. It's a big tent, there's room inside for everyone so long as they accept the basic tenets: less is more and the sum should be greater than the parts. I'd love to see the DIR guys here, they have a lot to contribute.

Named for it's founding father, William Hogarth Main, the Hogarthian style is constantly being improved and refined. Bill Main himself, despite nearly 25 years of cave diving, is invariably showing up at local dive sites with modifications and much can be learned from his dedication.
