    If you were on the student side this weekend you would have seen our
whole shop DIR. At Northeast Scuba Supply, we are trying to expose every one
of our divers to DIR and the attitude that goes with it. Upon certification
we show our students the benifits of doing it right and point out the down
falls of personal preference. We are hoping to change the look of diving in
the Northeast.
    It is funny that when I am on a dive boat, I am criticized because of my
DIR gear. Yet when I am cave diving in Florida, the locals ask me where is
my pizza stained Doria Tee shirt.
    That's Ok. I don't need the exceptance. Tyler Moon turned me on to the
system 3 years ago. Now I have my students dive it. DIR will grow in the
Northeast. The Northeast is just in need of good instructors that dive and
can teach the DIR system and attitude. Everyone thought the world was flat
once too.
If anyone is interested contact Northeast Scuba Supply jda000@ao*.co* or me
at seacave@vo*.co*
