Vinny, We've had this conversation months ago. I know you want to make DIR equipment and sell it and are pissed that neither us nor WKPP nor GUE would officially endorse your products. However, I think this course of action is very counter-productive for everyone - especially you. Before EE and Halcyon came into being, other companies (Dive-Rite, AUL) were asked to make proper equipment - they refused. Before GUE came into being, other agencies (IANTD, NACD) were asked to tighten up training standards - they refused. These companies were set up to make what the others refused to make and teach what others refused to teach. They have every right to their success and divers all over the world are voting with their money. At the end of the day, divers will buy what they believe to be the best available and if other companies can't understand that, well that's just tough for them.
