The Big DIR GIG

[Garf]

I know GLOC's posted about this before, but there's a massive Gig in Stoney in a couple of weekend's time. for anyone interested in DIR this is a great opportunity. Instructors and Tech qualified divers are running workshops over the weekend on the following topics for anyone and everyone that wants to attend. There is no fee or anything by any of the instructors (and certainly not from the chimps!), and it's ideal for anyone who is curious about a particular aspect of why do dive DIR. The weekend is the 13th and 14th of Ocotber, and there are already over 50 people coming. The more the merrier! If anyone is interested in coming along and attending any of the following workshops, just drop me a pm and I'll add your name to the list over on backslappers.com and pm you with the details. I suspect "Underwater photography" might just be GLOCs way of avoiding having to do a workshop on anything that Howard and I could stand around, heckle, and take the piss, but the rest of the workshops are pretty DIR-related
