DIR

[JoelW]

I lean that way.  To me DIR makes sense.  It is not very popular around here.  Don't try bringing it up in any of the stores.<br><br>If you have a real interest several of us here in town are importing a pair of instructors to teach a DIR Fundamentals course May 3-5.  The primary instructor is the training director for GUE (Global Underwater Explorers), the main proponents of DIR.  Information on the class can be found through looking under the classroom tab.  Since none of the stores around here have any interest we are doing this without any store involvement.  Another option is pick up a copy of Fundamentals book sold through GUE.  If nothing else, cruise the GUE site and see what they are saying.<br><br>The biggest problem seems to be getting good information.  That is probably the biggest reason we are bringing someone in.  Pulling information off of the net is just about worthless.  A lot of people have pretty strong opinions for and against DIR and that heavily colors any of the discussions.<br><br>By the way, I am not into tech diving.  Like I said, it makes sense to me.<br><br>JoelW<br><br>
