Mike, I would hate to see any instructor's attendance of the DIR class stigmatized as an admission that the instructor needs to learn "the basics" from John or someone else. (Especially as I'm interested in the class!) I think it is fair to qualify it that they are learning the "basics" of a different system.

I am assuming these guys are already excellent divers and also competent to teach open water/AOW/Rescue diving; seems to me that that's the kind of person who wants to learn more, and I think your post intimates this up. Is that right, or did you feel these PADI teachers who took the course were generally not competent to be teaching before they took the DIR class?
