Ron-  

You'll get enough replies on the list about where to find DIR
information, so I'll leave that one alone. The one helpful tidbit that I
would like to pass on to a newbie is the appropriate spelling of
"Tech."....

Tech. Diving is short for Technical Diving. I would think twice before I
abbreviated Ronald as "Rawn"....so too should one think twice about
calling a technical diver a "teKKie".....

Just my slightly jaded opinion...
