But all the information is already there, is it not?. All that is needed
is to get the message about the dir system across to new divers and then
they wont fall into the mistake of copying other who are (or choose to be)
ignorant of it

If theres too much dust, then you can't see, no matter how hard you look
!!
As for other thing, what have I got to gain by lying? diddly squat. Next
time you come to these shores, vist any club and just ask......

So, why not try to educate them or their students, if a new diver knew
of a safer way of diving, would he / she then go to the place that didn't
teach it - I don't think so.

But imagine a student turning up at that agency and saying "I've heard
about this dir thing, can you teach it to me?", if enough people said it,
then the agency would have to embrace it or lose students, a win win
situation, more people dir and less people die.

I agree, but thats diffrent from childish insults, is it not?
