I swear, you DIR guys are an elitest cult. The overwhelming number of posts I've seen from DIR folks have a major 'I dive DIR, therefore, I clearly am a superior diver to anyone who is wearing a jacket bc' subtext running through them.
(Sorry, I'm over-caffinated today.)
I don't think PADI will get involved, I think a new agency will simply come into being, DIR.
Edit
I re-read my post, and realized something. We are all incredibly passionate about our sport.
And that is a great thing.![]()

The post was meant as a freindly jab at the DIR folks who would cringe at the idea of PADI involvment in DIR.

Some cringe at the idea of PADI involvement in SCUBA.

You missed the point. It was meant to be a joke. Also I need to point out that I AM NOT DIR, never was and have no plans to ever be.
What is extremly funny is that because I advocate good good diving skills and training some here mistakenly get the impression that DIR has something to do with it. That is funny.

Man! This is why writers get paid the big bucks. No one ever gets sarcasm or biting retorts on these boards.
Myself included.
So much for my being the next Stephen King.

don't kid. If DIR gets that popular not only will PADI teach it but they will probably buy the WKPP and put a picture of GI on the cover of the manual.
