Another plus for donating the reg in your mouth is that it's possible that a panicked OOG diver will rip your regulator out of your mouth anyway. This way your prepared with your own backup right where you need it.

DIR diver don't panic.

Would that it were so ... but I know of one case of a DIR-trained diver not engaging their training in an emergency ... and his buddy ended up in the chamber. Rare, granted ... and the training definitely reduces the possibility ... but we're all human, and humans are always capable of making mistakes.

You know for sure that one is functioning (as does the OOG diver).

Plus that gas is already known to be the right gas for that depth, correct?

There's a really, really simple solution to this, Mitchell. Do you want to tell us what that is, or should we spell it out for you?

That's why seacure mouthpieces aren't DIR. Now chant the mantra ,,,,,,,,, holistic system,,,,,, holistic system .......... holistic system.

Seriously, there are a lot of different bits and pieces and procedures that are meant to work together.

Going to the GUE website and ordering the Doing it Right - fundamentals of better diving book by J. Jablonski is a good place to start. Poke around the website a bit and you will also find some general review articles on DIR / Hogarthian gear setup.

Understand that some folks don't have tight lip grip to hold a reg in comfortably. I'm sure someone has asked before..
