Hello

It's not about teckie diving - it's just an approach to diving which covers single tank stuff, twinsets, wrecks and caves. DIR is a method, GUE is a training agency - of which I am an instructor. It is now possible to learn to dive with GUE but in the main we offer training to divers who have trained with other agencies - as I did.

There is no requirement to use any specific brand of kit at all - but equipment is chosen based on certain criteria whcih rules out quite a lot for various reasons.

How it would benefit you in your diving? Well that is for you to decide.

Quote:
1: dives a single 12 - no pony - and not likely to move to a twinset
2: would not penetrate a wreck or overhead enviroment without training
3: doesnt dive any other gas other than normal air
Well single tanks are fine - great in fact if they suit the diving that you are doing.
I'd positively encourage you to get training before entering a cave or a wreck so we are on the same page there.
Only dive air? Well there are reasons why we don't believe that EANX 21 is the 'best mix' for diving.

Have a look at GUE.com, DIR Diver - Home, and DIR Diving Better still say hi to me at Vobster sometime and have a chat.
