On ScubaBoard we argue about two things:
1. Training agencies. We are all divers well past initial certification.
We still argue about which agency trains new divers the best. It has the same relevance as grad students debating how good their high school was. Some instructors take this very seriously.
Don't try to joke with them. Oh, PADI certified most of us but we have to pretend it's no good and littering the bottom of lakes with dead divers. Mike will tell you all about it.
2.DIR/GUE. This is a training method complete with jargon and equiptment. It's supposed to be a good way to dive. The followers reguard joking about DIR in the same way that Baptist preachers reguard joking about the Bible. They respond to any jibes with outrage. They have no sense of humor when it comes to DIR. Be careful what you say or they will consign you to the depths of Hell with the dead PADI divers.
There, you're ready for ScubaBoard. Go get 'em!
