By the way I asked my scuba shop guy what he thought of DIR? He said that he's never heard of them, and that this group is probably some fly by nite internet hoax that is run by a bunch of con artists. A couple days ago I went to their site and asked them a question abut excercises and stuff. All they coulddo is fight over whose book is the best one to read.

I'll never give out that shops name. I thought that you'd be more interested in how the dir people are fighting over what book is best to read regarding excercise.

Not really. I'm just curious who has their head in the sand regarding current diving philosophies.

I believe a more accurate statement would be "regarding a current diving philosophy", not the implication that it is the current diving philosophy. It is certainly not the diving philosophy in northeast wreckdiving, at least not in the circles that I have been diving with for the last 20 years. I'm not making a judgement . . . just an observation.

One may also make the argument that it is not "current" nor simply a "philosophy". It may be considered more of a methodologhy which has been evolving for many years.

Of course, these thoughts are merely the musings of a hose sucking stroke.

Later all . . . gotta go rinse my gear . . . a bunch of us went diving yesterday and oh . . . and with over 100 years of experience on the boat, there wasn't a DIR diver in sight.

I guesss we can't use the word pervalent.
