There is a question burning in my brain. Why do some divers choose not to dive DIR? I am trying to understand why some people are resistant ideas, equipment configuration or any other parts. Please help me understand!!!! I have been diving the DIR for so long, it is impossible for me to think of a good reason not to dive DIR.

Why do some people drink tea?
I just can't understand that. Don't they know know how much better coffee is?
I have been drinking coffee for years and it is the greatist thing.

I guess some people are unable or unwilling to open their minds enough to accept a different point of view.
:rolleyes:

Also, why are some folks Christrian while others are Muslim, Budhist, or Jehova's Witnesses? Each seeks a similar (or same) goal, but has a different way of going about it.

I should go on record that I think that much of what DIR has to say about diving I like. But there are other parts that I'm not ready to adopt yet. And others I may never adopt. At this point in my diving career, I'm still figuring a whole bunch of it out. I got a whole lot to learn, and I recognize that I got a lot of evolving to do.

You have answered your own question Kevin... on several levels...

Not everyone cave dives as you do....
Not everyone knows DIR as you do....
Not everyone is as experienced as you....

Mike this may be a better analogy than tea vs. coffee but it still doesn't really get to the heart of the issue or even make a feeble attempt to answer Kevin's question with substance.
 
Kevin asked a question with substance?
Where?
When?

All I saw looked like a far too obvious troll.
 
Tea or Coffee?

Yuck.

Hot Cocoa, NOW you're talking!

Roak
 
Only with marshmellows will I drink hot cocoa.
Any other way is just not Drinking It Right DIR.
