You are a scholar and a gentlemanI don't own a wetsuit anymore. I wear just a tie-dyed t-shirt, because no one wants to see me with my shirt off.But then, while I've been mistaken as a DIR diver, I am definitely not.

I don’t know. Never looked into DIR. figured my military training, padi training and diving with some very good people was enough. Picked up some good tips/advise listening and asking questions. Have always found fellow dives willing to help and answer questions. Only had a few be judgmental and I didn’t throw them overboard.Which is mutually exclusive to being DIR???
As long as you're having fun and not silting things out for everyone, you're more than "enough" in my book.
Dive and let dive. DIR and let others not DIR. And to top it off, it has the same acronym as "Doing it wrong". What more can you ask for?
Only on ScubaBoard do we talk about this.
There's other places? Get outta here with that foolish talk.
Now do one but change “toward” to “of”

How 'bout DIFF? Doing It For Fun?
There ya go! It has been said that diving the DIR way can enable a diver to have more fun. I felt I was having more fun on my dives after my original Fundies class. Once I was less stressed by the mechanics of executing a dive, I could relax more and focus on the goal of the dive, which in my case was simply enjoying the coral reefs. There is fun in Fundies.
