Maybe DIR as they would like everyone to believe. But not the original concept behind it.

Just found this in another thread.. quite enlightening. You might like to read it.
LOL!!! I'm just messing with him Gary, I gotta have some fun here...
OH, johnnythan, my boy...
That thread means nothing to me. That is a transcript of a talk that George did. OF COURSE he is going to say that he came up with DIR.
Have you ever heard of WIlliam Hogarth Main???
Maybe you should do a little search since you are so good at it, and ENLIGHTEN YOURSELF....
As I said before, they came up with a system that works well for them, the WKPP, and alot of deep cave explorers. They are DIR, however, the foundation, and the concept behind the gear configurations is A Hogarthian concept. That is where it all started.

Insults aside, the talk contains a *ton* of information about rules they've set, gear config ideas they've had to come up with, and dive procedures they've had to invent and standardize. Lots of little details, a few big details.
The point is that there's a *lot* more to DIR than the basic Hogarthian gear config.
Whatever the foundation and concept are, there's an a$$ ton of reality and detail incorporated into DIR.
That's exactly what I was saying in the beginning. DIR was invented for Wakulla. It's based on a Hogarthian concept, but a lot of work had to be done to get to the point where they could do an 18,000 foot penetration.

coming back to the original question...
in mexico you can go to the surface quite often, so there is also the thing about "maximum distance to air" which makes the cave hard to "escape".
There are also big caves in Europe, but they are often single-tunnels....

if you want
So we have depth in terms of deep, and depth as in penetration in continuous passage from the entrance and also maximum explored passage .... anything else ?

I consider "penetration" as "maximum distance from exit"
Kinda along the lines of the fact that you can only walk into a forrest half way...
