Just a quick question:
I am not trolling here, I actually live far away from any GUE DIR instructors, and do like the GUE DIR philosophy, but would like to ask a seemingly basic question anyways please!
I see most of the DIR equiptment guidlines as logical and my rig is very DIR orientated, but....
Why would one preclude the use of any fin other then the ScubaPro Jet Fin?
I mean to ask, say one has a perfectly fine pair of Mares Volo power they really, really like, cost them all kinds of money and work just fine for all kicks. Why would they not be DIR acceptable?
I have not taken any DIR instruction, because I am geographically too far to join a class, and financially flying an instructor here is not practical. I cannot see any risk added in using other fins if they allow the use of all kicks, only a more efficient kick profile then most, and they are not split, so you can use them in kicks other then the flutter.
I mean, I can actually dolphin kick comfortably, faster then most(including my OW instructor) can flutterkick as fast as possible.
Thanks for your input
