I think we're onto something here... In Lake Superior at the Madeira? It's a nice warm 38 degrees.

.....The DIR approach is, in my opinion, the future face of diving. Within 10 years a diver who isn't diving a Hogarthian rig will be as uncommon as a diver today wearing a horsecollar BC and only one second stage. It's coming, ........I think there will be modifications as it grows......but the end result will be a better, safer sport for everyone.

Face it, it's everywhere now, catching on like wildfire. Hang on :)

If Halcyon stock were available I would sink every dime I could scrape up into it. Unfortunately it's not and isn't likely to be as Robert and JJ would then have to give up some control.

I really believe this, my earlier post was not a joke.

I thought you were the one with the Lear...

Oh... that was just on your face...

Hmmm....

Well give me some time to work on it.


And no... I don't do fundamentals classes....
I am just a lowly propagandist. ;)

(Who was about to take a DIR class and looking forward to it but got put off by all the elitist, absolutist, BS.)

Yeah - I'm sure I would have failed too.....

I was kinda put off by the whole elitist attitude also, but I took the class anyway. I'm glad I did and I learned a lot. One of the main things I learned is that DIR isnt what most people portray it as on the net, which is why I posted this poll. Not surprisingly, very few that have responded have actually taken a class.

The report on the class I took is buried somewhere in the recent archives of this forum if anyone wants to take a look of how a class REALLY goes.
