Come on Jeff, we need sound bites, not essays.

A very specific set of gear and skills, created mostly by George Irvine and Jarrod Jablonski of the WKPP (a big cave diving project in Florida), whose idea is to be the best, most efficient, safest possible method of diving. It is very tech-oriented, yet suitable for all recreational divers, and includes backplates with wings instead of traditional BCs and a 7' primary regulator hose with a backup bungeed on a short hose around the neck. Donating the primary regulator in an OOA emergency, not using traditional BC's, and a very strong team-oriented concept are central to the system and this, coupled with its extreme rigidity in terms of gear choices and procedures, make it a somewhat large target in the community by those who feel offended that they're being told they're doing it wrong.

There. one paragraph.

You forgot the kool aid!

I was with the program. My answer was way under a paragraph. It's not my fault that my paragraph requires a bit more research to get the full picture

DIR diving ;

An aproach to diving where equipment, team effort,physical and mental effort are fine tuned to lesson inherant dangers of the dive, while increasing situational awareness, decreasing stress, while making diving more enjoyable through knowledge,planning, and experiance.

Hows that ?
