DIR Details

Ahh Grasshopper I see me point. This is the same reasoning that I have received before. The reason I elected to go with dual wing has nothing to do with same dive redundancy. I'll give you an example. I dive on a regular basis in out of the way locations. Isle Royale, The Keeweenaw etc. If I am diving and do have a failure of my wing. Lets say a seam lets go. Now I do not have my scond wing hooked up. I do not even have an extra hose for it on my reg. I would use my drysuit as my redundant way to reach the surface. I still have drop weights and would look at dropping them if necessary only. Now I have made it to the surface and found everything ok. What about my afternoon dive? Redundancy is not only for the dive you are on but for multiple dives. In this scenario having an extra bladder will keep me diving with out major repairs (in the case of a split seam no repair). Now I could just purchase an extra bladder and have it in my save a dive kit but this works just as well for my diving needs. I do not have any intentions of ever having to use it on that dive but I really do not want to call a dive trip for not having a back up. Oh and I removed the bungeed part of my wings long ago. My point here is I got the standard answer but it really did not apply to my diving situation. Now some people can say gee I really would not do it that way I would purchase an extra bladder etc. But it seems to me that DIR says no this is incorrect there is no other way so you are now a stroke etc. (you do not walk up to someone and say god what an ugly minivan who would want one of those...only to find ut the the person has 6 kids)
