While not anti anything diving, and seeing no point to any of the politics involved in the sport, I can see why the whole ethos attracts a bad rep.

Now I know DIR is all about a holistic, team based approach to diving, George Irvine et al do appear to be a bit holier than thou. They don't like CCR, rebreathers, other than RB80 clones, computers etc etc.

This can be a bit elitist to the noobies amongst us.

I wonder if there are other sports with as much political nonsense as diving?

If there was a DIR day up in Scotland I may get involved, but there isnt.
