I'm Taking the DIR Plunge

[Jason B]

Ignore the naysayers. Most of them are Internet DIR wannabe's that don't have the stones to take the class. Probably to afraid to take the beating their level of diving deserves.

That is so laughable.

Unfortunately, that is the type of attitude along with the poor spelling that is often found among DIR proponents. I believe more divers would be interested in the classes if there weren't so many DIR students putting down everyone else.

I would have to (sadly) second that opinion. Fundies is an excellent course, however some graduates become obsessed with thinking they are the "bees-knees". It's a strange phenomenon, but one I see replicated in other fields as well. Nothing is as great a turn-off as those who preach vs. letting others discover.

I have a policy of double-checking my own spelling whenever I correct somebody else's.

Does "frogman" in your profile suggest your a navy seal. If so, I respect you immensly for that. If not, you should change it, my friend.

no, I am not a navy seal. but the term "frogman" has been used for eons to describe divers, so guess what
