A potential interesting tread was begun with:
Lamont closed the thread, I think prematurely, with:
b1gcountry:I know this question will stir up some arguments, and conversation. It's been slow around here lately anyway, and I was bored. This is a serious question, and not a troll...
Every group and region tend to have their own specific set of idiosyncrasies to the way they dive. I've often heard people knock DIR practices because "That kinda ___ would never fly around HERE!" So my question of the day is this:
If DIR evolved in a different environment, what would we now be doing differently? Would there even be any differences? What kind of environment would you see having a different effect?
...and by environment, I mean the physical, and geographical environment. I do not mean the social or political environment. Obviously, if the mindset was "certify a new diver as quickly as possible", everything would be different.
Lamont closed the thread, I think prematurely, with:
So lets take Lamont's advice and continue the thread here. Since we're discussing minimalist approaches, it's appropriate.Lamont:okay, we're not getting into the Scripps vs. DIR axegrinding in the DIR forum, so please take it to another forum...
and the rest of this thread is tending to highlight the axe grinding of the posters rather than highlight anything useful about DIR...
and i'm sorry i brought up the whole lighthead boltsnaps thing... that's my own particular axe, but i approach it with a sense of amusement and i've got loops on the end of all my lightheads.
