When I am bored, I go over to scubaboard and read in on all the characters endlessly posting mindless inquiries on what is and isn't "DIR". Dumb stuff like what masks are DIR, what fins are DIR, what regulators are "dir" ad nauseum.

It is like the hobby is not so much diving as it is frittering away ungodly quantities of time fussing to no end over equipment types, and half of that is to be done over the Internet. Makes you wonder how much diving they actually do.....

Of course half of that is brought on by themselves for deliberately choosing a condescending term for their brand of equipment zealotry.

These characters seem to make up 99% of they self proclaimed disciples of DIR Jihadism.

They are not to be confused with actual real GUE formally trained types who actually don't remotely care about which brand of fin or what color it is as long as it works.
