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

merxlin:

Hmmmm, it is like genetics. Blue eyes may be a recessive gene, but who doesn't like them? So a DIR + DORK dive will probably yield a DHF = Divers Having Fun. And like most mixed relationships, you may have trouble explaining it to the family, but in the end they will accept it and you. (or shun you for the rest of your life).

Really sounds like an unholy alliance. I'd have a priest close by.

I'm sure what would turn out would end up being non-viable and wouldn't last.

Even if it's radioactive goo, it's has to be useful for something, eh?

So... you've got DORK divers and then you've got DIR divers diving together... what does that end up combining/making/producing?

Is the result DIRK divers?

Or is it more dependent on a dominate/recessive gene matrix?

Help me on this one!! Might not sleep until it's resolved!

Cave Diver:

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.
