My DIMWIT dive manual is full of attitude, rich in ideas, yet remains light as an empty binder. This makes it quick to reference and easy to quote from when someone is derogatory towards my dive choices because they may be different.
Its about Doing It My Way In Texas, safely.
Maybe it should be DIMWITs?
If there is a different way to do something, perhaps better, I like to know about it and the reasoning behind it, without obligation to accept it. I seek the best training available from different instructors and programs and practice regularly. I make educated choices regarding the equipment I dive, its configuration, the dive types and plans, gas mixes, even the colors I wear. I dont require that those I dive with do it just like me, just do it safely. I am well trained, skilled, and properly equipped for the diving I do. I am solely responsible for my own life and dive decisions. I dive in Texas.
To me, DIMWIT diving is a humorous response to those who are eager to assert themselves as superior or deride others as wrong because they do it differently. While absolutely NOT a substitute for ANY type of training, the DIMWIT attitude and logo may be used as a tool to detect demeaning types, especially if they are quick to correct that the stripe on the flag is pointing the wrong way.
Really? I didnt know, thanks for the warning.
