:doctor: The more I read regarding DIR-F classes and some of the principles they follow the more it seems that these things they do are really not new but rather a revisiting of the things that scuba classes use to do years ago? Am I wrong? Does anyone else see this? I am not opposed to these principles.
I do believe that the DIR concept is correct however I feel that more often than not the approach towards these principles is a bit askew, and I look at that as being a result of the interpretation of the instructor.
I am not wanting a battle of, I'm trying to avoid actually, the DIR concept of which equipment brand is DIR and which is not. We have had those SB discussions of Halcyon vs Dive Rite vs OMS vs Zeagle vs Dacor, Sherwood, Atomic, Scuabpro, Apeks etc. I am just asking if any of the Ol' time divers out there see any similarities in the old way things were done and how these DIR-F classes are doing them now?
