Not sure if the the trim weight pocket is DIR, awell.

:14:

Am I the only who looked at the first picture and thought the guy's head was photoshopped on because it looked too big for his body? I think the skinny latex seals of a drysuit can really make you like disproportionate sometimes.

There're also quite a few equipment photos (albeit a little old) at the NorthEastDIR sige.

These are just random underwater pics of me from Dutch Springs, but there are a lot of good shots of a single tank DIR setup:

This guy was just getting started on the whole Hogarthian/DIR thing. I met him at Dutch Springs to go over the notes from my DIR class and take some pics and videos of him underwater to help him maybe prepare a little bit for his DIRF class.

He was in the process of changing over a lot of his gear, but he hadn't switched his harness yet. I think it was an OMS IQ Pak, or Comfort Harness, or something like that. The plastic danglies are the lower sections of the plastic adjustable shoulder straps.

Nope.. I'm the guy in the wetsuit and Al80.

It was about 90 degrees topside and we weren't going below the thermocline at about 30 feet... the water was 70-something. As if I was going to wear my drysuit and doubles in 73 degree water at a quarry to take some video of someone!
