I 100% agree with your mindset of staying open minded, even within a set of standards. You never know what you may learn/take from it. I’ve really appreciated your no nonsense, practical approach over the years!
Looking alive, finally back to the cool stuff that everyone wants to tell you but is too afraid. That last video I thought the modern Jacque Cousteau got bent.
Great video. I've found that sidemounting bailouts and deco bottles, for both my rebreather and twin-set diving has allowed for a more streamlined and efficient setup. For any additional bottles, beyond two, I rig them just as I would any stage when sidemount diving. Granted, I'm not constrained by any DIR philosophy, so I'm not running afoul of anyone's rules. I'm glad to hear a DIR practitioner say that they need to approach situations with an open mind. That's something that seems not to happen often, at least here in the Americas.
I agree on sidemounting the bailout cylinder. Keeps things streamlined and neat. On a different note, regarding your intro, the word Defy should be spelled with a "Y" not an "i".
That is what I like about you: technical creativity!
Great topic and good to hear common sense spoken.

I support creative thinking in scuba diving. Those that freak out about breaking out of the norm need to pull their heads out.

Have you looked at going to a kiss sidewinder CCR?
I would think that back mounted bailout would be a good option
Ha, a bird is competing with you for attention 😆
