fishnchips:Matthew, you are right on this. I truly believe this vedio is someone who dislike DIR, pretend to de DIR and show this video to ridicule DIR standard. Who in the right mind would inflate the lift bag underneath and risking the line entangle with the equipments? IMHO, a pig with 2 brain cells could see that the bag is underneath the diver. This is definitelly not DIR standard. If it is, then the standard of dive safety has hit a new low.
The sad thing is people actually put this kind of video on the net and encourage others to follow. As I pleaded in my earlier post, please put aside any differences between different training agencies, please consider the safety of other divers, tell them the truth-this video is just a prank, and it is a good demo of what NOT TO DO.
I'm still waiting for your video sockpuppet....where is it?
