DIR guys aren't nice....maybe so......can they dive......well maybe some of them.......
It is not my business to 'save' you or your TDI brethren...If you dive that way fine with me...I don't care! That's right you heard it hear, I don't care and so there goes my ministry franchise.
Interesting how when I get on a boat and keep my mouth shut how many inqusitive and honestly educational questions come my way...even by the 'old guard' (especially after we get out of the water).
DIR doesn't make you 'cool' in fact some of the biggest dorks I have met are GUE/DIR divers and conversely some of the most worthwhile individuals are non DIR-ers. DIR says nothing about your value as a person so lets get that straight out of the gate. With the personal issue aside...you can independently assess the system.
