The advice to "Find a DIR Diver in your area" is given so many times I thought it might be useful to compile a list of divers in different regions that would be willing to provide a little guidance to anyone interested in pursuing this route.

If you are looking for someone to dive with to show you what DIR is all about, look up your area below and find someone local.

If you are willing to offer your services, please provide some way to contact you (PM works), whether you have gear available to borrow, and where you are located. To make things easier to search through, copy the entire list into each post, and add your info in the correct place.

I have an extra set of doubles, regs, wings, and a few sizes of Jets I'd be willing to loan out. I do a lot of dives in Lake Michigan, Ozarks, Mermet Springs, New Melle.

I have some extra stuff, but not a complete kit. I could likely borrow some stuff from friends locally though. I dive around Montana, Yellowstone Park and would be willing to drive a little especially if it's to dive something new.

Lots of spare gear. I enjoy diving with novice divers and introducing people to our system.

Training GUE-F (+some TDI stuff)
I work for our local Halcyon importer, who should be a Fundies instructor by March. Plenty of spare kit to share. Gas is an issue, simply because NZ is a bit backwards about nitrox and trimix.....
 
OK, as long as we're at it...I have a complete set of everything. Did I mention I also have a full service dive shop with trimix / triox / Nitrox / DUI dry suits / Halcyon BCD's & long hose regs? Also, a 43 ft dive boat operatiing in Resurrection Bay Alaska? Oh yeah...we have a GUE fundamentals instructor too. Please let me know if I can help?? Check out: www.divealaska.net
