They'd be a lot like MY family!

Cave Diver:After carefully reviewing the DORK diver sticky (http://scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=193433), I dont see anything there that conflicts with the basic principles of DIR.
In fact, several of their tenets revolve around safety, team environment, and dive planning, which are funamental parts of DIR.
In my opinion diving with a DORK doesnt seem to compromise the DIR standing at all, so there is no need to rename the resulting DORK/DIR team.
merxlin:But if we do, can we call our team "Shirley"?

erparamedic:Ding! Ding! Ding! That's the best post yet!!!
I believe, dear Cave Diver, that your post is most excellent! Now, I know nothing of DIR, GUE, or any tech stuff... but I like to think that I'm pretty good at DORK DIVING... and having buddies on both ends of the spectrum, I think all kinds work quite well. Just look over and/or discuss gear (configurations), air, etc etc before the dive, and then go have some fun!
Wow, Cave Diver! You deserve a standing ovation!![]()

RoyN:Cave Diver is the true DIR. You go Cave Diver !!!!

Cave Diver:<blush> Well, thanks!
But just for the record DIR isn't just for tech. Even our WWW (warm water weenie) dives are DIR.
Nor does the fact that we do tech dives eclipse the fact of having fun. We wore Santa hats (who's your santa?) and Elf hats (Jingle this!) on our Christmas Cave trip last year!![]()
