As a background, before I say my peace, I've been diving for roughly 15 years. I'm not an instructor although I'm close to the industry. And unlike most of the divers who have replied, I dive DIR. I believe it's a good system. What I don't believe is that a good system or even good dive gear makes a better diver. I think DIR has gone this way. a lot of divers who know the system think they've reached a higher level of diving. Hose routing and backplates don't make a better diver. Actual diving does.
DIR can do without the attitude. Unfortunately, it's the DIR divers who propagate this kind of thinking. There are divers like JJ who are really good. And yes, there are the divers who think they're just as good but haven't been diving anywhere close to what real divers do.
