The ratio of this course will be one to 3. If there are too many people for Rich to cover we have other tech 1 divers who will attend the course to assist in water.

This is an organisational thread for numbers only - can you PM me (or Rich) with questions about the day. It would greatly assist if you were to post comments and/or discussions elsewhere.

Do'ya'know some swine sent me an e-mail today about a fundies course at Cambridge. I only live an hour away from Cambridge!

But I can't do this weekend as a) I'm at Yarnfield Park[1] Stafford until 5pm on Friday (this is why I can't do Porgs St Abbs trip) and b) because I can't do St Abbs I'll be in York with my SO sans children whom we have farmed of to all and sundry for a long weekend.

Are you people TRYING to get me divorced

Im well getting lost here there seems to be so many threads regarding this gig. Im looking for more info on DIR, trim fin kicks and gear so guess this is the workshop for me then?

Thanks

Clare hi,

what sort of mix do we require(what will be max depth)? Any other speacial requirements ?

Well looking forward to this.

Jamie

[Clare Gledhill]

I would imagine that Rich will take you to the heady depths of ... oh... the 6 metre shelf All skills are harder in the shallows where buoyancy changes are the greatest so it is ideal for demonstrating stuff.

So up to you (although if you will want 32 for the rest of the weekend do remember that nitrox fills are not available at stoney at weekends).

Have you thought about what you are going to do on the saturday afternoon and the sunday? There are other workshops to be had - and other DIR divers who will take you around

[Crisspy Fiver]

Im going to the talk on the saturday night then to the show on the Sunday. Need to meet a few people there.

For the Saturday afternoon im up for anything. I will have a look around and what else is on. Maybe i can just tag along on a dive with some of you DIR people. I would like to see how the team work aspect of things work under water. Positions in the water ect.

Thanks

Jamie

I take it that the intention is to run a few more DIRF courses in the immediate aftermath of this gig then....
