Yes Grant, this is true. In the UK many divers have not heard of DIR but it
all comes down to education.
 You are an instructor so you can start spreading the news.
For more of your own education check out Gas Diving UK. Graeme Davidson and
Andy Kerslake are GUE Instructors
and they are more than willing to share their knowledge.
Once you start educating your students it will help DIR get more publicity
and more and more dive shops will stock the equipment we need
not as they do at present and stock the "in brands".
