First of all, Manos is not an idiot, he is one of the most competent, patient and knowledgeable divers I know with the experience to back it up. He did not call any one person an idiot, nor did he single out anyone to bash. Most people will dive a lifetime and not do or see the things he has, so don't make assumptios about someone without all the facts.
The fact of the matter is that diving with a wetsuit and steel doubles is not a good idea, and it offers only problems not solutions. Just because one person can successfully overcome the enormous amount of negative buoyancy does not mean that everyone can. This is why as a widely accepted rule it is more prudent to use a drysuit. Actually a drysuit is an excellent choice in almost any diving endeavour. Just choose the appropriate exposure protection to remain comfortable for the duration of the dive.
On a final note, we have been receiving many emails happy that we are here and doing our best to offer what knowledge and advice we can as DIR divers. Our friends at GUE and on Quest have asked us to take a more smooth and non aggressive approach to some of the postings on this site, which quite honestly there are many unforgivable postings, but we will do what we can to address these in a professional manner. I ask you all to do the same. Lets talk diving not stab each other in the backs.
