What event made you head toward/away from DIR?

[scubert]

Dive time,
this one statement basically sums up the main problem with non-standardized gear setups (as opposed to dir or even just your own groups standardization).
Everyone's..Gear..Slightly..Different..


If DIR doesn't work for you, fine.  But I don't think that DIR will kill us just because we don't like the idea of metal-metal connections or split fins.  Most of us here that are on our way to DIR are on this journey for a reason, we have found thru our experiences that this system works for us, and for our group. 

This topic was meant to explore the how's and when's of going DIR or being turned away from DIR in our actual dive experiences.
Do you have an dive experience that has turned you away from the concept of DIR, or do you just not like being told where to store your safe second/knife?
