Hi -
I have just spent some time reading stuff here - suffering from general disgust and lack of trust in anything revieved by Rodale (Gimme some money and I'll call it good too...) - I find that opinions of fellow divers are far better...
I have noticed references to DIR - a common practice in my neighborhood and I have also seen the Dive Rite Transpac II referenced as a Technical BC - Am I very far out to accept that the DIR spec of a backplate with one continuos strap to be truly "Tech" and anything else - including the transpac to be more or less rec? I personally dive a transpac and could not be happier, although I'm sorry that I didn't find DIR sooner and got the Back plate instead - it is cheaper after all...
Any opinions on DIR here?
Thanks,
Terkel
