Genesis,
What GUE and DIR have done for tech and rec diving is light years beyond what any other Agency or group is doing to advance the sport of diving. For that reason I think GI3, JJ and all the instructors like MHK deserve our respect and thanks.

Hi JJ,Jarrod once bubbled...
I find this regrettable in that from my perspective it was this lack of discipline with respect to gas selection and team diving that were largely responsible for his death. I mean no disrespect to Sheck, his memory or accomplishments. I cared deeply for him and respected both his abilities and personality tremendously; it saddens me all the more that he was the victim of such a needless tragedy.

Hello Everyone,
I know that many of you decided long ago how you felt about DIR, Halcyon, and GUE. However, some of you are still trying to evaluate these groups and how they fit into your future diving plans.

Maybe it's time to change perspective a bit. Most of us here it seems, have great respect for Most of the DIR ideas and philosophies. Many of us have incorporated numerous aspects of DIR into our own gear, dive planning, and technique choices. BUT, choices is the operative word, we each reserve the right to make our own assessments and work within our skills and knowledge to reach our own conclusions on how we want to do things. That then becomes what works best...because it works best for me in the place and conditions that I'm diving in. (Naturally, buddys/ team has to work out for them what they agree is best together)
Now while I'll agree that having everyone identicle has it's advantages in some situations, (like the military, or WKPP, etc.) I don't see where stamping out "cookie cutter" divers makes them any better, or more right than I am, or most of the rest of the tech divers here.
From now on, I officially consider myself a DIJAR diver...... anyone else want to sign up!....
