Dumb Question

[divedude]

I'm new to this board, been diving almost 20 yrs. Set in my ways.
I keep reading about "DIR"
What the hell is "DIR" and what does "DIR" mean.
I ask a couple of guy at the LDS and they had no idea.
Maybe I should start reading dive mags

DIR is an acronym for *Doing It Right*...
It is the slogan of a new training agency GUE that is taking principles from the cave diving successes of the WKPP and applying them to a broader spectrum of diving.

Yooper will be along shortly with a list of links but this should get you started:
www.gue.com
www.wkpp.org

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Nah... I know God; God is a friend of mine; and that guy ain't Him...
Anyway I think it is the same priniciple as *DiveRite* gear...
While I am sure that they mean to imply that their gear is the best I don't get myself worked up over it...
I mean, thinkaboutit....
Why would anyone get worked up over a sales slogan?
However it does reveal latent insecurities when folks do start to froth at the mouth.
