Hi from Brazil

Hi all,
Well I'm not a DIR purist, not yet at least, but I've been diving on a regular basis for some years and under a variety of conditions so I fully appreciate that technique, standardisation and care with details are important.
I regularly frequent some other boards and they always paint a rather stereotype picture of DIR divers so I came here to get the low-down since according to the introduction of this site one of its objectives is to inform those who are interested in learning more about the DIR approach to diving.
So I'll probably be lurking more than posting, at least initially, while I get up to speed by reading through some of the forums.
Mike.

Welcome Mike.

Sounds like a good plan - read the forums and make your own informed decisions about it all..

Enjoy.
