howarde:I think you need to google "Fundies -underwear" and you'll get a more refined search. The - (minus sign) will eliminate any of the underwear for 2 results.
still in the dark...Fundamentalist divers??

Walt1957:I agree, and I really want to ... but I just wish that there were less roadblocks. I do not know if it (DIR) will be right for me, but from all that I have heard the class would be right for me as far as helping me improve my skills either way. And, until I hear the full reasons, and experience the difference, I can't make a valid judgement.
I am not afraid to fail the course, and in fact I know that I will. If it is as good of a learning experience as I have heard then it would not be a true failure in my mind.
Are there shops that rent BP/W's? The ones I have seen just have the cheap vest types for rent. That would make it much easier for me to try the class right there.
jonnythan:See my last post. It's on the previous page so you may have missed it.
jonnythan:Does it bother you at all when non-DIR divers make mean-spirited, unkind, gratuitous comments to DIR divers about their gear or mentality?
This stuff goes both ways. If you let it get to you going either way, you'd quit diving before long.
Somewhere a few pages back in this thread I mentioned diving with a great bunch of folks in the PNW, Seattle area. Those folks were NWGratefuldiver, Uncle Pug, OE2X, and a few other that I saidly can't remember their online names.TheRedHead:I've always had an interest in DIR diving, but could never bring myself to take a course. I've got the books, 2 DVDs from 5thd-x, equipment, the time and money to travel anywhere I wish to take it. Everytime I start to warm toward it, some DIR diver mostly on this board will make a mean-spririted, unkind, gratuitous comment to a non-DIR diver about their diving or gear, such as a pony bottle. It rubs me the wrong way to the point that I won't persue it. I would probably feel differently if my first experience with DIR had not been on the internet.
