Have you ever seen a polarized school of fish that moved as if it was
one organism? Very beautiful and interesting sight to behold. When I
starting reading rec.scuba a could see that a group identified as DIR
seem to think as one organism. I find this interesting for the lack of
a better word.

Terry Maas wrote a book "Bluewater Hunters and Freediving" in this book
he describes his experiences and his methods. It is loaded with
experiences, pictures and suggestions. Now in contrast George has
written "The DIR Gear Configuration" which is his legacy.

I'm not sure if he knows or if he has directed people to promote DIR to
this group. Some people carve up or dilute the configuration and seem
to be selling it as their own. I don't know and this is interesting to
me. Doesn't DIR have copywrights? Scott seems to have his, Lee his,
Dan's got a web site. What gives? Some people call it a cave diving
religion and are trying to sell it to the masses.

As you know I have rejected the gear configuration for myself and my
buddy for reasons of safety and personal choice. This really seems to
upset a few people here. Does this reflect or are you the sounding
board for George Irvine? jose
