DIR in Colorado

[roakey]

Looks like there's going to be another fundamentals class held in Santa Rosa, NM if anyone's interested:

Flatirons Scuba in Broomfield, CO will be hosting Joe Talavera of SubTidal for a DIR Fundamentals class to be held at the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa NM 4/1-4/3. Space is limited, so let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,

I'm not in any way associated with Flatirons, etc., etc. etc.

I'm not associated with them either but Rob and Greg from Flatirons are great guys. I'd be taking that course if was going to be around at that time.

Joe Talavera is great. Whoever decides to take the class will definately have a good time.

I'm interested but may be out of town those days. I'll let you know when I find out more.

Is anyone else taking this (April 1-3, Colorado/New Mexico) DIR-F class?

I wanted to, but scheduling (as usual) kicks me out. I've missed out on the last three DIRFs that Rob has sponsored because of it. My loss.

I'm actually now considering going to Florida this summer and doing a DIRF there. It'll cost me a bit more money, but since I do 99% of my diving in the Carribean anyway, it's a bit more applicable.

Just completed the fundies class this last weekend with Joe at the Blue Hole through NM Scuba Center. Great guy, good teaching skills and the patience of a saint! He mentioned he was coming back in a few weeks.

If you have the chance, definitely take the course. It is well worth it, albeit humbling and at times humiliating. Bring your sense of humor and ability to laugh at yourself.... along with your Jet fins!!

Excuse my ignorance but what is a DIR-F course?

DIR Fundamentals.

Or, you can check out the DIR forum on ScubaBoard. There is a detailed explanation of the philosophy there.
