| Turning people onto DIR
Hi Dean,
I was turned on to the GUE DIR program by a Divemaster/dive buddy. He came back from Grand Cayman impressed with the people/the way they dove/and the dive operation (Ocean Frontiers). We would sit down and discuss the merits of the DIR program, and the value of carrying the Halcyon line of equipment in my store.
My store is a PADI 5 Star Facility, Aqualung/ Scubapro/TUSA/DiveRite/OMS dealer. I have been teaching since 1979.
What convinced me that the GUE/ DIR program is the way to go,? Seeing too many technical diving programs that were certifying people who did not have the SKILLS to do the dives they planned. My buddy gave me JJ's book. I sent my wife (my partner in the business) to take the DIR-f course. The rest is history.
