This is a purely speculative question. I am not personally planning on getting into doubles diving for some time, I'm just curious as to the progression states. Does a person typically put together a set of doubles and try them out on their own or does a person put a set together and take a class immediately?
I have been reading all the various threads on GUE Tech 1/IANTD/TEC REC etc. Every class requirement states that you need your own gear (and from everything I've read concerning the gear it seems to require a great deal of expertise to use). But then I look at the DIRF course which is a "pre-tech" course and it says doubles are ok...forgive me I'm just working through all the details...I assume this option is for people who already have some tech training and are wanting to improve on their basic skills with this set-up before advancing...yes?no?
Would someone who has never dove doubles before take DIRF in a single, then practice until the skills are really top notch, then go onto a Tech class and learn all about doubles as the next step?
Thanks in advance.
