>how's the pursuit of knowledge going? Always learning! >The season is here and the temp is almost to bearable....well almost. I don't think I would want to do too long a dive but 45 minutes or so isn't bad. Jim and I try to get a dive in every month even in the winter. The challenge in the winter isn't the cold so much as finding something interesting to dive. In the winter we usually don't stray to far and diving in the Finger Lakes isn't that exciting to start with. >This list is always adversarial. Someone always has a different opinion as to what is >right. I don't have problem with a difference of opinion but the saying goes something like catching more flies with honey then vinegar. In the brief discussion we had at Beneath the Sea you where able to make your points in a persuasive way, and as I'm sure you know that's the only way to convince people your right. All the name calling on this list and others takes me back to grade school! >Easiest way to weed through it all, is to gain as much info as possible, That's one thing the GUE site does very well, very informative! >don't be afraid to ask questions, I bet there are plenty of people who are interested in tech diving and have a question but don't ask because they are afraid of being ripped to shreds! I see that as the problem. The DIR mind set would spread a lot faster if individuals who claim to promote it would change their demeanor. It gets to the point where an individual doesn't care if it's right or not, they just don't want to be involved with that kind of personality. >and develop a thicker skin by not taking things to personal. LOL! You should see me at work! >Oh, and if you learned it from PADI.... it is probably WRONG Your killin me! >Do you have a copy of the DIR fundamentals book yet? No but no matter what program I go with I plan to pick one up. >Tell you what I'm gonna do.....just to prove that I'm not as bad as rumors would have >you think <G> You must have me confused with a different PADI chap, I was actually thinking I liked you to much for you to be a DIR evangelist. >If you wanna stop by, I'll give you a copy to get you started in the right direction. I might just do that! Take care Tim -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
