Having dived with quite a few DIR divers in the past and trying it myself on a try 'DIR' trip out of Portland I'm quite suprised at Garf's response. The reason I didn't go DIR although owning all the kit was basically I hate diving in a 3 and thats it.
I guess Garf didn't recognise me then even though we shared a B&B last season on one of warmwater weekends away
I feel quite angry that Garf feels everyone is against DIR divers but from his attitude in this post I can begin to see why |
I am sorry you feel aggrieved, and no I didn't recognise you, which again I can only apologise - I am shit with faces. My point on the day was to ask Scubee when the last time was that some hailed her across a carpark to get her PADI opinion on something. Whilst your comment was obviously good natured, they are not always so, and you'd be amazed how often people just initiate exactly that in order to basically bait me into acting like a DIR stereotype.
So apologies if you feel aggrieved, but I hope you can see my perspective. In this case I was obviously being over defensive. My bad.
