This is to bring the diver passing the new DIR-F course to the same level (and having been taught the same things from a DIR point of view) as someone passing the new GUE Open Water course soon to be launched.
£400 may sound like a lot but when you look at what the new course gives you, it's actually very good. After all, what you're effectively getting here is a DIR Fundamentals course + a basic nitrox course (32% only, I'm guessing) + a rescue course for £400! When you consider that most dive centres charge £300 for a rescue course *only*, the new DIR-F is very good value for money...
