Got a dilemma... what happens when you combine these?

[merxlin]

Yes... but if they shun you, were they really family to begin with?

They'd be a lot like MY family! They took all the fun out of disfunctional.

After carefully reviewing the DORK diver sticky (http://scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=193433), I dont see anything there that conflicts with the basic principles of DIR.

In fact, several of their tenets revolve around safety, team environment, and dive planning, which are funamental parts of DIR.

In my opinion diving with a DORK doesnt seem to compromise the DIR standing at all, so there is no need to rename the resulting DORK/DIR team.

Ding! Ding! Ding! That's the best post yet!!!​

I believe, dear Cave Diver, that your post is most excellent! Now, I know nothing of DIR, GUE, or any tech stuff... but I like to think that I'm pretty good at DORK DIVING... and having buddies on both ends of the spectrum, I think all kinds work quite well. Just look over and/or discuss gear (configurations), air, etc etc before the dive, and then go have some fun!

Wow, Cave Diver! You deserve a standing ovation!

But if we do, can we call our team "Shirley"?

Well sure you can!

<blush> Well, thanks!

But just for the record DIR isn't just for tech. Even our WWW (warm water weenie) dives are DIR.

Nor does the fact that we do tech dives eclipse the fact of having fun. We wore Santa hats (who's your santa?) and Elf hats (Jingle this!) on our Christmas Cave trip last year!

Penny just informed me that I've been a "dork in denial" for as long as shes known me!

You get a DINK -- "Doing It Not Quite"

That was a funny thread. Not TLAYACYAD funny, but funny none the less.

umm... that was actually a bit more negative than I was hoping for here.
