This may be off a bit here, what you say very much depends on how you look 
at it.
I am not sure if GUE had been started when Rob Wolvo decided to kill 
himself by going after his mask that fell overboard with only 750psi in his 
tanks, But since JJ is in fact the founder of GUE and Rob did receive 
training from JJ, that kinda points to a possible gray area in that statement.
Just so you also know how I feel about certain things, if I diver is 
trained by TDI and he dies, it is a TDI death, but if a diver has ever 
received any DIR training or ever been involved with the people who created 
DIR and they die, it should be counted as a DIR death, it does not matter 
if they died during a project or doing a fun dive. Once you get exposed to 
DIR diving and accept it, if you die diving, it should be counted as a DIR 
death.
As I believe in the DIR system, it is only as good as the diver using it.
