Holistic Hogarthian - a working document (Part I)

But I think the point of H2 is that it goes far beyond personal diving style. It is a way to bring more discipline and emphasis on proper technique to the local dive community. H2 also gives us a path on which to chart out development as divers and, more importantly, as dive teams – a much more meaningful “scorecard” than the number of C–cards in our logbook or the number of whiz-bang dive toys we carry in our gear bags. Yes, H2 could (should?) be viewed as a child of the DIR movement. However I think (and David correct me if I’m wrong here) that the purpose in developing H2 was to make DIR related concepts more accessible to all of us in as inclusive a manner as possible without sacrificing the basic principles of H2/DIR diving. To write this off as simply "personal diving style" misses the point.
