Dear Mr. Gunther,

I am sorry but I must say your criticism *is not* constructive. I
AM  NOT associated to GUE, I am 10 thousand miles from nearest US
port  (Canary  Islands,  central  east  Atlantic,  off  Northwest
Africa;   yes,   we   are  cannibals here :-) and I would like to
stress the following:

-  The  DIR  framework  appears to be a **very serious** approach
which  should  be  supported  by,  at least, the academics diving
community;

-  Development  of any serious approach costs lots of money, time
and efforts;

-  These  guys  are shaping the first ever wholistic framework to
diving   (physical   fitness,  stay-out-of-drugs,  healthy  food,
technical aspects of diving, true-gear, etc.);

Our  fellow  marine  science  students,  here, are getting diving
certificates (PADI & similar) after a single week of training (in
cases   after   a   *single   day*)   and   doing   a   bunch  of
trial-and-error-in-water  stuff  due  to  the lack of a **serious
conceptual  framework**.

Please, be constructive.
