George, Trey & Jarrod

First of all let me begin with that I am just getting started in the 
"technical diving" aspect of my diving experience.  I have just enrolled in a 
cavern class.  So as I write please remember this. 
How many of you remember your 1st set of dive gear? Bet it's not what you're 
using now.  How many times did you change your gear config. before finally 
"Doing It Right"? Well that's where I'm at this time, I'm on my 3rd set of 
gear & in the process of scrapping most of it & starting to "DIR." I studied 
long & hard before I enrolled in this class, I also studied long & hard 
before finally settling on the DIR method of gear config. (You guys aren't 
easy to find in Oklahoma) My point is before you bash a diver that is not 
rigged the DIR method, please remember that he may not know of GUE or DIR or 
Halcyon. All he has read is in Immersed, Advanced Diver or for Heaven's sake 
Rodale's. The only technical people that advertise are OMS & Dive Rite. I can 
only think of a couple of times I have seen a Halcyon ad.
I have tried to spread the "Word" the best I can, but until I get my gear 
reconfigured, that's the best I can do.
Will there be any seminars in my area, and if so what dates?
Please don't take any of this wrong, I have become a deciple of your teaching 
& read everything I can on this subject. As with anybody that has a passion 
for what they believe, they tend to get emotional on the subject. I'm that 
way & it is refreshing to find out there are more out there like me.

Thanks for your time

Thanks for your time
