explaining DIR

[dferg77]

does anyone know where i could find a article that would explain in detail the reasoning behind the dir mindset. I would like something that compares dir to traditional training in every detail of equipment and uses. I have tried explaining it to a few people mostly my wife but cant really get the point across. thanks for any help

You can find all kinds of stuff that gives you an overview, and tons of stuff on equipment, but these two essays by Peter Steinhoff I think give you a quick peek at the core of things: http://www.dir-diver.com/en/knowledge/whats_dir_really_about.html
