Subject: Nova Tech - First Meeting - Great attendance & response!


The first meeting of Northern Virginia Technical
Diving Community (NOVA TECH) was held at the Main
Street USA on Little River Turnpike in Annandale, VA
this evening.  This community is the result of
like-minded divers wanting to embrace what is deemed
the to be the safest method of technical oriented
diving, DIR (Doing It Right).

The stated goal of NOVA TECH is to move towards and
outline a path for its attendees to become DIR divers.
NOVA TECH is not comprised of instructors seeking
students, and is not a club.  It is a loose group of
divers who meet to discuss technical diving.  NOVA
TECH is the brainchild of Todd Clagett, active
technical diver with VB Tech of Virginia Beach, VA.

Tonight's discussion consisted of presentations by
Todd Clagett, Allyson Clagett and Dave Dalton.
Allyson Clagett & Dave Dalton are also active
technical divers with VB Tech.  Tonight's topics were
basic gear configuration of the DIR diver including
regulator hose routing, wings, backplates, canister &
backup lights, drysuits, argon bottles.

In excess of 20 divers attended this evening and the
response was very favorable.

Several divers decided to go to Mt. Storm this weekend
for practice dives (better to do it in 55 degrees than
42 degrees!).  Todd, Allyson & Dave will all be there
to assist with gear configuration questions.  If you
would like to join us, e-mail me for directions and
times.  Currently it looks like folks might be going
up Saturn (2/16) & Sunday (2/17).

If you would like a better understanding of the DIR
diver, join us for our next monthly meeting.  Meeting
times and locations will be posted on the NOVA TECH
web site (designed by Allyson Clagett) located at:
