fireflock:I am thinking about signing up for the DIR-F class at Lake Rawlings this summer, but I'm a little unclear about what the equipment requirements for DIR-F are.
I have heard different things varying from 'Everything needs to be 100% DIR' to 'GUE will let you take DIR-F with long hoses and a back-inflate BC' to 'Go the the store and buy a full DIR setup' to 'The instructors will usually let you borrow or rent a BP/Wings for the class'
I know some of the folks who post here took DIR-F recently. What were your experiences?
I have non-split fins (rubber straps), a back-inflate BC (single tank, 35lbs lift), SP MK16/S550 reg with octo bungee (I can get a long hose), and an air integrated console computer (has gauge mode - maybe an expensive non-DIR spg).

You should contact the instructor for the course you are
planning on taking.
The GUE online Registration form has a section where you list your current equipment and a copy is forwarded on to the
instructor for review.
You can also download the GUE Standards and Procedures from the GUE Website and in section 2.1.2.10 the Equipment
requirements for GUE Recreational Courses are listed.
