Have you so called (doing it right) people ever heard about recreational diving? Some of us in the other group can dive only once or twice a year, but you make us feel inferior to you. I bet every one of you started out the same way.
Actually, not so much. I knew that I wanted to be the best diver that I could be as soon as I started. Deeper, longer, more challenging. That's what makes if fun. DIR is a means to an end. If it doesn't work for you, fine. Find something that does.
As for Rush's comments, there is no debate. Just the sound and fury from the other side.
There is nothing that says you can't strive to improve your skills, minimize the risks and maximize your fun even if you only dive a couple of times each year.
Or are you using the fact that you don't dive often as an excuse for lousy skills and no desire to improve them?
In answer to your question, a stroke is a diver with an unsafe attitude. Not having a BP/Wing doesn't necessarily make you a stroke. Similarly, having one doesn't mean that you can't earn the title.
Its funny. These posts are usually set up by people who know nothing about DIR and are unwilling to learn. I've yet to hear anyone who actually bothered to educate themselves about it post this type of drivel.
WW, don't worry about who'll win. Darwin will see to that.:boom:
