Re: What event made you head toward/away from DIR?
Agreed, GUE makes it clear that DIR is a building block to be used in all aspects of diving from OW on up to whatever. Â The next time I make it to the tropics, if I can get past the bad tasting water, you can bet that I will be wearing my BP/and an appropriate single tank wing. Â There wonât be stages and the like, but there will be a long hose and all of the other things I typically have on my harness will be right were they are when I'm in 200ft on a wreck in the Great Lakes. Â That is the reason DIR-FUNDAMENTALS is called what it is. Â GUE has chosen skills that it believes are essential to being a good diver and makes ''passing" that class a prerequisite to any other GUE courses. Â Fundies covers things like buoyancy, control, situational awareness, trim, and bunches of other important things that don't get covered in a "typical" OW setting. Â Oh yeah, it also states that you need to have Hs all over your gear. Wait a minute, in our course we were specifically told that the brand doesnât matter, the fit, function, and overall performance of the equipment are what matters. |
