Is DM-ing incompatible with DIR?

[Mako Mark]

Out of the verbal battles and back to the post:

"Is DM-ing incompatible with DIR?"

No, in my opinion it is not incompatible.
"DM-ing" is a job.
"DIR" is a philosophy and dive style.
Each has its own set of requirements for fulfilling a particular mission or dive..

good analysis.

.

The question is not unlike asking is the ability to fly an ultralight aircraft incompatible with the ability to fly an F-16.
.

But if you fly an F-16, does that mean you should attach an ejector seat and sidewinder missiles to your microlight?

It would certainly look cool, but I think it is excessive.

For my part, I think the diving community, as a whole, would benefit from more dive masters being DIR certified.

Absolutely
