Where did you first hear about DIR?

[wch]

Wondering how everyone first heard about DIR. I first read about it on this board.

Uh-oh, had to post again. Funny that a DIR post should give me "that number".

Same for me, had to ask what it meant to... I thought it meant Diving In Redundancy, haha.

I started diving with this guy a few months ago in our local quarry. His style of kicking was totally different from anything I'd seen out on the reefs. And then during the 15ft safety stop after hovering montionlessly for a pretty long time he started taking off his mask, turning around in circles like a helicopter, switching between regs, turning off his valves. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do so I just stared at him, wondering if I needed to be ready to pull my reg out of my mouth and give it to him. During the surface interval he started talking about this class he and an instructor had taken in Florida.... After 20 some odd dives of watching and trying to emulate his form and trying out a bp/wings, I now have read every post I can find, have new gear ordered, have just read the DIRF book, and have paid a deposit for the class.....

Becki,
Good move, you won't regret taking the class..

Yep - learned about it first here. Never knew what a bp/wings were before Lost Yooper showed me his setup and took the time to explain some of the DIR philosophy to me. The DIR population need more people like Yoop and Uncle Pug who will take the time to converse in a civil manner with newbies or strokes like myself.

This board really is an invaluable learning resource.......
