If he was wearing that wet swim suit and had steel tankage, it would be strokery. But the Aluminum tanks make it OK.
Of course the idea of diving here in the winter with NO THERMAL PROTECTION as a way to impress his macho buddies shows how DIR really works. A true believer can always be forgiven because they know the higher law. We mere recreational types with PADI cards will be jumped for everything including using a computer to track multilevel dives, having a console, wearing a normal BC, etc.
I consider diving without thermal protection to be dangerous. I consider flying after deep diving to be dangerous. But these are things that are OK if he does it because HE IS DIR and HE DIVES CAVES and HE HAS DOVE THE ANDREA DORIA.
BIG DEAL.
your friendly neighborhood sock puppet.
