DIR and Solo Diving, Incompatible?

I'm still not sure we're talking about the same thing

I saw the pictures and forgot what the topic was about......

Lamont, you're welcome to borrow whatever you want from the DIR approach. However, you can't be "3/4 of the way of becoming DIR". It would amount to being 3/4 of the way pregnant.

I don't beleive it! Your logic must be flawed!

If being... 3/4 DIR = 3/4 pregnant...

then being... all DIR = all pregnant

because...

DIR = (3/4)/(3/4) pregnant...thus...DIR = 1 pregnant


I think you're going to make people mad talking that way.

Talking what way? You're the one calling all DIR divers pregnant!

Oh great. Now we're back to Pina again..... :sappy:

I did not. I just rearanged the equation that Arnaud claimed was true.

If one could be 3/4 pregnant, one could theoretically be 3/4 DIR. As one cannot be 3/4 pregnant, following the same logic, one cannot be 3/4 DIR either. However: (i) being pregnant has nothing to do with DIR (except for the fact that my better half is to give birth in 2 months), and (ii) you know exactly what I mean

:biggrin:

Congrats!
Well now we know why you associated the two. You're probably associating being pregnant with just about everything about now.

When I went through it there wan't any such thing as DIR I don't think.

Would a PADI OW diver that followed 3/4's of the DIR program be a "safer" or "better" diver IYHO than one that did not follow any of that program's different teachings? They may not be able to walk around saying they are a DIR diver but that does not make a difference (unless, of course, they get a better discount at Walmart's).
