Technically, DIR Essentials is more like fundies was when it was a workshop. I was in the first Essentials class taught by JoeT at 5thd-x and it is, in fact, a tremendous introduction to DIR. IMO it was a better intro for a diver without tons of experience (and zero tech experience) than taking fundies only to fail. I got some great takeaways from Essentials to work on, and will be tackling DIR-F (with the intent of passing not just a provisional) hopefully sometime this summer.

Joe had talked about 5thd-x releasing the videos and slide deck to students (we only got the slide deck), I'm really glad to see JoeT, AG, etc. made this effort to put this together in a DVD. It will be a great resource, esp. for those of us who don't live near hoards of other DIR-minded divers.

I've already ordered my copy. :D
