roller, I have been interested in DIR for a year and am just now--at the end of diving season been able to get my regular buddy to move this direction. I have spent a lot of time reading material from GUE and doing searches of people on scuba board that I respect like TSandM PerroneFord NWGratefuldiver and a few others to read their answers to questions from divers just like me.
At this point it is the blind leading the blind for the Divas, but we will make some progress I am sure of it.
So my advice would be to read good material, watch some of the GUE videos or some of the stuff by the 5thD-X and start learning and apply what you can. If you aren't in a place to sell all your gear and go with the config you can still work on trim and buoyancy along with some mask and air shares.
I am still new and figuring this thing out as I go along. People that have been through DIR-F and some of the tech and cave classes have really gone out of their way to provide me with information and advice.
I can tell you that as I am starting to get the hang of some of this stuff it has really relaxed me in the water and I have noticed a great improvement in my SAC rate and I am enjoying the dives more when we head out looking for the fish.
