How do you pronounce DIR and GUE?

[halocline]

I think they're pronounced "arrogant" and "socially challenged"




relax, it's a joke!

Well, it really depends.

For example:

DIR = Dee Eye Are
DIR = "Dir" as in "Direct"

Same for GUE...
GUE = Gee Ewe Eee
GUE = "Gooey"

And of course, there are always exceptions:
GUE = Goo

This, of course, would be correct since they require redundancy in everything. When EE's (Extremely Expensive) business fell off a couple of years ago and they started renting tubes, I understand they required the use of a redundant tube attached by a 26" leash to your left waist "D" ring. Let me know if I'm mistaken in that...

There is only one way of pronouncing it right. All the alternatives you suggest add unnecessary failing points and should be avoided.

If you are in doubt, take a pronunciation fundamentals course.

If it was PADI there'd be a course for it ... and it would qualify as an elective towards the Advanced Open Water Diver

I don't think that there's a DIR way to say, "GUE."

I believe there is specialty course that covers this.

The SCUBA divers acronym pronunciation specialty course.
