WHY??
Wouldn't it be nice if  all REC-teachers would implement  DIR into their
teaching.
My instructor does. And hopefully , in the future, others will too.
You'll get better REC-divers and less bullshit. Even if  your
rec-students decide
not to dive DIR, you would still have had the opportunity to make them
think about it, and/or change their minds.
I did.
