DIR

[LKunze]

One thing that I find annoying is that some divers have used DIR to form their own sort of self righteous clicky "we are better than you" groups. I've seen so many people use DIR as a status thing especially on other internet forums etc. Almost like a competion thing. "We are DIR...bow to us."
Now I am not bringing DIR down, I like what I've seen and researched of it so far. The thing that bothers me is that some divers that embrace DIR are actually giving it a bad name. Divers not totally familiar with DIR that just want to learn more about it often times get treated like they are stroke morons and in turn get turned off by DIR.
Just something I've seen often, particularly on internet forums. I think DIR would be accepted more and more people would look to learn and take the courses if not for crap like this going on.
