why you would be so defensive of its merits. I agree with a good portion of your points. However, I outline circumstances that exist that some of your points did not address. I get fustrated that GUE and DIR are now the 'anti-christ' of diving in many rec divers minds. What is one of the best things about diving that many of us enjoy...the friendships. I am just hoping that the fun isn't taken out of rec diving due to the crap that has been going on in tech diving for the last 5+ years. I could easily sit on either side of the fence and have supporters, but I choose to say hey look there are agendas on both sides and walking around with blinders will not do anyone good.
