Let me modify slightly.... Myth 8: DIR and its proponents have saved many student divers from certain danger and possible death, as taught by all other training agencies. Reality: A System as DIR takes over where the other systems end due to the fact that other systems have no place in the technical arena and thus offer a philosophy to continue to develop as adives in the safest possible manner. Myth 7: DIR is a system for everybody. Reality: DIR has evolved from being, out of the equipment perpective, a system for pure technical diving to one that you can adapt from day one in your open water course. No other system has that flexibility or simplicity. Myth 6: DIR is a system based on experience and proven facts. Reality: DIR has proven over its lifetime that its a system based on common sense and experience and is the system of choice for most technical diver. Myth 5: DIR is a new movement in scuba that will grow and someday surpass other systems. Reality: Tech diving has continued to grow, and most training agencies have started, at least out of a equipment viewpoint to adapt to the system known as DIR. Myth 4: DIR is practised by the BEST divers in the world. Reality: DIR is practised and adapted to an evergrowing community of new and old technical divers, which is apparent both on or off-PC. Myth 3: DIR uses safe procedures, both in and out of the water. Reality: The DIR philosophy is to strive for the safest possible applications of the procedures around diving , be mental and physical fitness, equipment setup ,group and mission targets.. Myth 2: DIR is useful for cave diving, but can be applied to ALL forms of diving. Reality: DIR is apllicable to all kinds of technical and recreational diving and can due to its basic simplicity be adapted towards diffrent diving environments. Myth 1: DIR has had no fatalities or accidents. Reality: All agencies, philosophies, followings will have accidents. Even DIR. Statistics catch up. So out of 8 you proved right in 1. Hardly a track record. Hardly worth listening to. You are part of a dying dinosaur breed. Things evolve. DIR is one of those evolvments. Just go with it.
