| Imported post I've taken the Fundamentals course and dive with others who have also and are signed up for the new Rec Triox looking toward Tech 1. What I've found is that while the whole DIR system seems rigid, many who have taken GUE courses are flexible and dive with others who may not be totally DIR compliant. A couple of weekends ago we were diving with a paraplegic who definitely wasn't DIR, but we dove with him and had a great time.
My thoughts are that it is great to take all the courses you can from all different agencies... but keep an open mind. Many things DIR I agree with and use, but there are a few items I question, so...
Anyway, the main point is to have fun, so that's what I'm doing!
