    Ordered the DIR-F manual

    Thought it was time that I find out what it's all about.

    OMG, it makes so much sense! I can see huge expenditures and more classes looming on the horizon.

    What flavor is that Kool-Aid anyway?

    There's a DIR-F manual?
    The way is to the destructive element submit yourself,
    and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water
    make the deep, deep sea keep you up...

    Probably talking about the Fundies book:"Doing It Right: The Fundamentals of Better Diving
    By Jarrod Jablonski"

    it is good reading and makes a lot of sense (to me and also to some non diving friends that read thru it.

    It comes with grape Kool-Aid mix. Now with Nutra-sweet.

    Lots of good stuff to draw your own ideas from, too.

    Be sure to get the DVD "garage tapes".

    Man, those videos are hard to watch... good info though. Someone has links to videos somewhere around here. Worth a look.

    I think the older videos are better than the plumb smugger DVD's

    I bought the video as a Christmas present for my husband. My motives were purely selfish.

    The book "Dress For Success" is good too. I cannot say enough good about that book. It's a real eye opener.

    Congratulations on your choice to move up to some "real" dive training.
