DIR-F Report Posted

[Halthron]

I've been put off buying an HID light because of it's high acquisition and maintenance cost.

Knowing what you know now about HID's, would you recommend them to others?

Spoon would probably be a better person to ask as he's had one longer but given what little I know about how you dive, yes. I think you'd enjoy one.

its the DIR-F that has the problems.... the puppies..... they feel that after graduating from DIR-F they are the best in the world.... that is becasue... little knowledge is dangerous... but those who move up to Tech 1 and over ARE DA MAN !

I'll take offense at this Pao. Passing the class hasn't made me think I'm a better diver than anyone else. There's always someone better out there and once you start thinking you're "god's gift to diving", you stop learning.

That was the most detailed I've ever read Eric, thanks and congrats.

As to that troll Pao's comments, I think he just refers to certain guys who preach all over SB, but definitely not you, the way you wrote your report proves that. Hope you keep it that way beyond Aug 4.

hehe Aug 4 you say...he's on a roll, time machine baby. Congrats Eric!

there you said it, you don't think you are a better diver than anyone else, proves you are NOT one of those who upon passing claim monopoly on the knowledge.

and you are able to think for yourself . that distinguishes you from those who claim they are the ones and all the rest are unsafe.

Don't take offense as i believe you are not one of them, as Matthew stated , your report shows clearly that you are yourself still .

at the resort there are about 5 to 6 of DIR-F enrollees. and you could clearly see that most are free thinkers. they voice out their contrary view on what your teacher told the class to DO and not to DO. to quote unquote "i don't think he has the right to tell me to dive with just a certain group..."

one of them has logged on to SB and PPD as well..... you will learn of him when he gets his DIR-F. they are done with the course, and just like johhnythan , they were told that they passed, but no card as yet......

Thanks for the report...I was seriously considering signing up for DIRf but based on your report I´m not so sure that I´ll get much out of it (apart from the videoreview)...

It would be nice to know how many Philippine divers who took DIR-F still dive DIR. In this I mean: the use of dive team protocols, the use of ratio deco (no computer), and the exclusive use of nitrox (no air).

Ratio deco isn't DIR-F level.... that's Tech 1
