OK, Im now officially in the exploration phase of bringing a DIRF class to the Colorado/New Mexico/Northwest Texas area. I have absolutely no details, Im only in the process of contacting instructors, finding out whats required, etc.
Pie-in-the-sky thinking puts it in the September/early October or late November time frame, Friday-Sunday (all full days) down at Blue Hole in Santa Rosa New Mexico. Cost $200-$300 (itd be run at-cost with me paying my way as well -- heck, Im bringing it in because I want to take it too!).
Hopefully by putting it in Santa Rosa itll be available to some of the Northwest Texas folks too.
The DIR fundamentals class is for recreational through highly technical divers. If youve got so called technical gear (doubles, etc.) youll learn to use it. If youre a recreational diver youll learn how to use the gear you have -- each student is challenged individually to reach the peak of his or her ability and know how to achieve even more with practice.
For more information on the class see: http://www.gue.com/classroom/standards/gue_rec_student.pdf
If folks have suggestions for dates or anything, nows the time to email me at the address below (please use my normal email, not scubaboards mailer).
