DIR Explorers - the next step in DIR Diving!

Welcome back Unregistered

DIR diving is a fast growing approach to diving. Be it technical or recreational, wreck, cave or reef, DIR diving can be relevant to the diving that you do. Jump in on our DIR forums, find out more about who we are, what we do, and how we do it.

DIRX is a DIR diving forum run by DIR divers for both DIR divers and those who are interested in learning more about our approach to diving. There is a lot of information around on the internet about DIR, we hope to bring it together here, at DIRX, into one resource which each of us can use.

So look around, tell us who you are, what you would like to see from DIRX, ask some questions, post reports of diving that you have done, or would like to do.

Safe Diving all from the DIRX Team.

Hi,

I've only just started diving having done my OW with PADI in India over christmas, I'm now back in the UK and I've booked to finish my AOW (I started it in India too) + Drysuit + Nitrox, can't wait to get back in the water, I just hope the drysuit + undersuit + whatever else I cram on, is warm enough as I think it maybe a bit of shock to the system!

Obviously the whole DIR stuff is a bit overwhelming at the moment so I think I'll do a few dives the PADI way until I... [Read More]

Just a quick note to say hello to you all .

The guys I dive with vary in expierience from holiday diving once a year to Full trimix 100m Plus, so I get into a lot of conversations about diving in general, i recently decided to go down the Technical route with Mark powell on a Intro to Tech course, loved it and am planning to... [Read More]

I've got my OWD at the moment and starting AOW and Rescue around april this year. I've started slowly replacing stuff for DIR equipment, since im a student I dont have a hell of a lot of money to spend. So it's going to take me a while ... [Read More]

All

The current offer in the UK where you get the Eclipse with the complete infinity system (cinch and deluxe harness padding) is ending at the end of Jan 2010. The Eclipse systems all come with the ACB system as standard from the factory and this will continue.

If you considering a system configured like this it might be worth getting one now


regards

New to the forum and diving. I live near lake Michigan and started diving in 2009. I need to do my night dive and then I will finish my PADI AOW. I also am about to take a Nitrox course (x-mas present from my sister) and a drysuit course free with the purchase of my drysuit. I would like to increase my skills: bouyancy, weighting, streamlining, kicks, etc. I Want to dive more at least once a week but don't belong to a dive club or have any real dive buddies of yet. I will probably take a... [Read More]

Hello all,

after reading around a bit on the forum I figured it was time to sign up. I am currently OW certified and about to complete AOW as soon as the water warms up a bit.
Luckily I found the DIR forums before I spend my hard earned money to buy my first kit so I got most of it straight the first time. Looking forward to doing the fundamentals course as soon as I have my equipement sorted and find myself not completely bankrupt.
Also interested in finding some DIR... [Read More]
