where did DIR go

[Chris H]

This is true with a lot of things. Money doesn't buy experience. I think that GUE has done a pretty good job of preventing this from getting past DIR-F. I have only taken the fundies class, so somebody feel free to jump in if I'm wrong, but if you can nail the skills stressed in that course, you are well on your way to being a hell of a good diver. They also have c-cards that expire, and minimum dives at certain levels that need to be made to continue with the next level course. No divemaster at 60 dives or whatever else. I think to truly see what it is all about, everyone should take the fundies class. I agree that there are some very good divers out there who haven't taken any GUE classes, but I really think GUE has taken a step in the right direction with diving and diving skills. Lets get this back on track.
