Once per month I try to offer a free workshop to enhance awareness and safety in our local dive community. In the past I have offered workshops on Technical Support Diving, Understanding Decompression Theories, and Dive Planning and Gas Management. I will continue to offer these as long as there is interest. Next month I decided to try a new topic -- Organized Team Diving.
Today organized team divers go by many names -- GUE diver, DIR diver, UTD diver, etc. Organized team diving is just what the name says Organized Team Diving? There may be subtle difference between teams, but anyone who truly sees the Big Picture can move beyond these minor variations during proper dive planning.
The goal of this workshop is to provide information to the Organize Team Curious Diver. The workshop is intended to provide an open discussion to explain why people engage in organized team diving to those that may be interested in this style of diving and to provide an opportunity for questions.
