My Thoughts On The "D-I-R" Philosophy

   • My Thoughts On The "D-I-R" Philosophy  

The "D-I-R" Philosophy, which is a holistic approach to scuba diving, started in the mid 90's by the WWKP (Woodville Karst Plain Project), and was developed to help prevent overhead diving fatalities. This approach and philosophy then branched out into the technical diving community, and eventually worked its way into the recreational scuba industry as well. Over time, the philosophy became corrupted, and started causing controversies between divers, training agencies, and the industry as a whole. In today's video, Instructor Trainer Bryan Stafford gives us a history lesson to D-I-R, and explains his thoughts in the subject.
