I'm proud of this thread, and I think it is cool how everyone has participated.

You should be, it's almost historical how on an open forum we can discuss DIR without major flames.

BTW your new Rebreather just arrived.

Are you saying that description sits well in the stomachs of the DIR Gods? Honestly, I am not in touch (nor do I care to be) with the gastrointestinal proclivities of the "DIR Gods." Naivety is Bliss! On a serious note (which is difficult for me to get on) examining this thread again, my ...

I believe that the questions I raised if answered might gain some traction regarding the initial questions of your thread.

A good description of DIR can be found here, I think that says it better than I could.

So here is what I realy dont get about the hole D I R debate does D I R realy stand for Doing It Right or is this just some propaganda started by the folks intimadated by the fact that there may infact be a better and safer way to aproch diving? Sparky Good Questions, anyone, anyone? I still really...

Well, there's a fair amount of prejudice out there (and it may well have been earned, for all I know!) I vividly remember saying something about DIR in front of the owner of a local tech-oriented shop and having him look at me in consternation and say, "You're not DIR , are you?" If my me...

I think that's just based on which Scooter you own.

Another fun topic by DSteding. I don't think your question has been answered yet, and I don't know if my answer will shed any light here. Like my Grandaddy always said: "Life's not Fair, and nothing's Perfect!" Well my vote is that goes for everything in life including GUE, PADI, TDI, NTEC...

No, I have to open the shop, I wouldn't make in time.

Anyone interested for a kick around the dock, I will be meeting for a dive 8:30am.

Great Dive report John, yah that was some entry/exit. I love this dive, what great vis. No wasn't a student, seems like I leave all that stuff up to BDub, my partner moved here from Detroit, he is loving him this PNW diving. Good to see you too Val, glad you like your Apeks, they are tough to match....

Yah wrong guy, there was a PBS special I was forwarded regarding the Doria that aired a few nights ago, that was a different Dave.
Look before you leap huh?

Good article, my Dad was actually on the Doria trip and peformed CPR on Dave, he was a good man and will be missed by many. Goes to show doesn't matter how many dives you have on a wreck like the Doria, it only takes one.

I will be at the shop around 9:30am, I'll fill ya

Cool I have to check out the show, I heard they might do a segment in Lk Wa.
Northwest Sports Divers is conucting a trip Mem Weekend in Victoria, one boat is doing the 737, one is doing the black dragon. Took about 3days to fill it up. I will have some reports soon after![/i]

RJack: I definitely was in the company of Junior last night, a couple times I almost had to push him away he would get so close. What a pest.

uh oh pushing a seal, now you've done it.
