...the DIR philosophy works for my diving; streamlining, simplicity, reduced failure points, team, situational awareness, etc... For purposes of this discussion, we'll leave it at that...
Those philosophy exist before DIR was even Hogarthian, but we'll leave that alone...

the notion of 'flying manually' with eCCR units has been largely unmentioned...
From what I have seen, most people doing that are new Rebreather divers (with perhaps a few exceptions) who still fear the unknown.
Without going into a big debate, but drawing my personal experience as someone with more mCCR hours than eCCR hours and now back to diving eCCR as eCCR, this is all I could recommend...
"No need to dive eCCR manually with SP as parachute, just monitor the PO2 as if you are diving an mCCR!"
It was said before, but I don't think a lot of people quite understood how simple it supposed to be...
