John Chluski and I just finished videoing the new DIR tape, "Doing
It Right 98" just yesterday. John will combine this runthrough with bits
from the two previous NACD Workshops in which Jarrod, Brent and I went
over various issues of gear and diving, as well as some footage from our
other tapes. Chluski has professional equipment and lighting, so the
details will be clear in this one. Also, we used live microphones and
set this up at my shop .
The core of this tape is done in a mammer that describes and
concentrates on WHY we do what we do from beginning to end, as well as
HOW, and has many of the details that were requested since the last
tape. It covers setting up the gear, mixing the gas, rigging stages, and
includes wreck gear , open water gear, as well as the usual cave gear,
and deploying the gear properly.
This tape will go a long way towards dispelling many of the
ridiculous practices and misconceptions that are rampant in dive
instruction today.
For the afficianandos of my personal style of dealing with idiots,
the first three minutes, in which the the "Four Horsemen" are
introduced, and the "Must Carry" piece of secret gear for diving with
strokes is displayed, will be enough to have the weenies and strokes
howling for years to come and provide endless entertainment for those
who understand what this is all about and are sick of the bs out there.
The tape will be distributed by Halcyon ( Brownies) and Extreme. I
am not going to get involved this time. However, be aware that a bit of
each tape's proceeds will go to the WKPP, so if you have a problem with
that, do not order one. If one of the usdct can find somebody to order
one for them, they will see the real version of the scooter which they
failed to copy.
I am previewing the final tape Thursday and will then take the
master to the lab from which Halcyon to get their copies for those who
want it. There is no discussion of rebreathers in this tape, that is a
totally separate tape. The scooter repair , maintenance, and motor
rebuild tapes are also separate. In the other specific tapes, these are
of me teaching parts of Errol's classes. The motor and scooter tapes
will not be allowed out until the "usdct" is out of Wakulla.
"Doing It Right 98" will be available next week.
