To keep the member introduction thread clean and streamlined, I've split the discussion of stats and members off to this thread.

There's a DIR tech instructor in Montreal??
What is considered a deco dive? Looks like some pretty big numbers being put out in some short periods of time...

I consider a deco dive one in which I have a mandatory stop per tables. In other words, there is a significant risk in DCS if I don't stop at 10-20'.

Yes, his name is Stephane Jolicoeur, he is based in Montreal but he operates a full service shop and fill station in the Thousand Islands Ontario, near Ivy Lea.
He teaches there and he even offers lodging for out of towner's.
PM me if you want more info.

I guess my take on DIR is a bit different. Anyone who has an IANTD logo on their site with "Deep Air" in it is pretty much the polar opposite of DIR to me.

The same could be said for several other posters here... Why go after this one?
Can someone keep this thread cleaned up to the member stats only? Letting the dribble come in here too will reduce the usefulness of this idea, IMHO.

In 1996 he was trained in Cave diving and trimix by Jarrod Jablonsky. At that time there was not much of DIR known in Canada. To be able to progress he had to associate himself with a technical agency, IANTD. It does not mean he follows their deep air practices (I don't know if they do themselves anymore??)
His tutoring is a mirror image of what GUE and UTD are practicing. My training was identical to GUE's Fundies and Cave 1.
Sorry for the digression, I had to clarify that point.
