I'm confused. I've seen some folks say their gear is DIR on this thread and I don't understand the difference between Hogarthian configuration and the DIR configuration? Could someone explain the differences please?

Hey, Quarrior, let's not get that argument started again in this thread, OK?
Dir
One more DIR
Quarrior:
DIR is very specific.. it's a subset of what most people would call Hogarthian. To me, Hogarthian implies bp/wing, a goal of simplicity, robustness, and streamlining.. whereas being DIR requires your knife to be in a certain spot, for instance.
Let me add that I'm speaking strictly of gear configuration when I say that.

Regulator: Mares Proton Ice
Octo: Aeris something, attached with velcro octo holder that works pretty well.
Console: Scubapro everything, kind of antique, heavy, still figuring out where to attach it; probably with bolt snap to scooter ring. Need to get a computer.
Compass: can't think of brand, really nice wrist mount with side view.
