We need a Do It Correctly test so we can see how much of a DIC diver we are.

Hi,

The fact that someone "Does It Right", doesent imply that all others are "Doing it Wrong". Its more like "think what you do when diving, and please do it as properly ass you can".

I know its a lot of negative feelings ass. with DIR, I dont know why, its just about attitudes, good training and optimalisation of equipment and procedures.

I guess anyone agrees with this, but its hard to admit when you have the "wrong" equipment and different procedures ( CCR rebreathers etc)

But personally I think this is about to change, CCR divers have presented their tool at the GUE Conference 2008, which is a step in the right direction!

You also have DIRrebreathers who are workin to standarise equipment more safer protocols.

Why are you happy to be "strokes" ?

This test is of course just a joke, but in "real life" a "stroke" is simply: "someone with a unsafe attitude" and i guess nobody will be a part of that categorization..
